I have 3 hens that seem to be forming a "gang" and pecking" at 2 other of my hens. They have caused some wounds. I'm new to raising hens. Any suggestions? I have separated them.Any feedback would be great. Thanks- Weefolk

The 3 meanies are blue andalusians The two being picked on 1 an ameraucana the other a black jersey giant. All came from the same hatchery-same age.

You have to give them about a week or so for adjustment. If you have a way to keep them separated, yet able to see and smell one another, that will help.

Anything new to a coop is automatically a threat.
