Ailing Banties

They are all Old English. The matching 2 are spangled. The other hen is Old English red or something like that.

Do they have some things around the coop and run to investigate or places to hide where they won’t get stuck? There is always one who is lowest in pecking order, but they should be able to get away from each other.

Thanks Eggcessive. Fluffy is definitely low in the pecking order. There is plenty of space (30' x 30') for her to get away. No real hiding spot. But they don't pursue her and the abuse happens most when I am sitting down doling out treats, like those dry meal worms or fruit. The nasty 2 just don't want her to get more than themselves. She runs to treats, and then away, while I try to throw treats all around, wide apart. I thought the rooster would be better at keeping order, but he picks on her too. Other times they rest in shady corner of their land together. They roost on different roosts.
