I have a mixed flock of laying hens that are 12 weeks old now. The flock is made up of 3 BR, 3 BO's, 2 BA's, 4 Wyandottes, 3 Danish Brown Leghorns and 2 EE's.
George, my rooster is now separated from the flock b/c the girls pulled all of his tail feathers and made his pope's nose look like hamburger. So now I noticed that the EE pullet, Lucile has feathers missing from her back.
I am familiar with the flock creating a pecking order but I thought EE's were fairly confident birds - Is it just coincidence that it is the EE's getting picked on?
