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!
