Bullies

[LizThumm]

Hi All
I have 3 chickens. One got attacked by the neighbors dog. She was ok her wing was sore for a while she was she’ll shocked for awhile and didn’t try to excape run with her sisters for awhile. I was worried that while she was hurt and depressed the others would bully her, they didn’t. Now that she’s better and even escaping with them again I’ve noticed they now will bully her sometimes. They are just coming up on 6 months. The boss of the group pecks at the other two to be bossy but this is different. Why now and not when she was wounded

Are they laying or coming into lay ? Sometimes while they are hormonal the pecking order becomes a bit more contentious.
