Hello everyone,
My smallest lady has been getting picked on now for sometime. It seemed to only start happening when she started laying. She is a bantam cochin and took a lot long to start than my buffs and EE's. Since she has everytime she tries to lay they peck her in the head. This has resulted in missing feathers and a bloody comb. I know there is a pecking order and she does tend to sit on the eggs longer than need be but is there anything I can do to help her? I've changed the laying boxes and moved their location. They are so stubborn though!
 
I would recommend you not keep a bantam with large breeds. Often what you are seeing is what happens. They are more meek and don't act the same as larger breeds. They could eventually kill her. I would set her up in her own coop and get a few more bantam for her own flock.
