Hello everyone! So about a week ago, I had to deal with a broody chicken. We don't have a rooster so we had to break her. During the day we didn't allow her to access the nesting boxes, and she was outside of the pen unlike the rest of the chickens. At night we kept her in our old rabbit cage. It took us about 4 days to break her, and after that she joined the rest of the chickens. However, one of the other chickens has suddenly taken to attacking her! She's pulling the feathers out from her neck area. I don't know what to do...I'd hate to have to separate them but I don't know of any other option. If I were to separate them, which one should i take from the rest? My brahma chickens are always nice to each other so this is entirely new behavior that is confusing me. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated!!!
