Aggressive hen

[WVchickmama]

Hey guys....my red sex link is very aggressive towards another hen. To the point she pulls her feathers and makes her yell. Why is she doing this suddenly? Everyone got along great. Any ideas how to break this behavior?

edited to add I see it happening around food a lot.

Try feeding in multiple locations.

x2, plus adding in obstacles between feed source also helps to break line of sight, to prevent one bird from trying to guard or hog all the food.

Yes, multiple feed and water stations might help.

How old are these birds, in weeks?
How many birds total?
How big is their coop and run, in feet by feet?
Dimensions and pics would help immensely here.

Welcome!
x2 to all the above. Also, what are they being fed?
