Bullied Hen Cont.

[Big Doggie]

So I isolated the hen I thought was the bully and jailed her with food snd water in a cage within the run. Much to my dismay the other 4 hens all seem to take turns torturing the bottom hen. When one begins they all join in.

I think I might have to isolate the bottom hen in her own 48 sf run. I don’t know if she will be Linley , maybe I’ll add a hen to join her. Hopefully the two of them will be friends.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this. Really need a solution!!!
