Battling hens!

How is Henneth doing today?
She seems chipper but her food doesnt seem to have been touched. I admit i gave her a half an apple from one that went bad, and maybe too many dehydrated meal worms but I was thinking of her needing protein due to molting. I'm usually careful about treats. Tomorrow she gets none.
 
Now I'mjust worried she's not eating. She wasn't eating before i separated her as she cowered in the nests. Now she's safe in the cage but I don't think she is eating.
Put up visual barriers so that she can eat without the Barred Plymouth Rocks looking at her.
 
Hmmm. I thought the idea was to keep her separate and safe but fully visible so they know who she is.
The problem seems to be the Barred Plymouth Rocks’ attitude towards her. They may be running her off because she looks different with her beard and muffs.

Maybe a few times a day, cover her and let her have some security while she's eating. You can try wetting down her feed with warm water so its like oatmeal, I haven't found a chicken yet that can resist eating it that way.
