I have drama in my coop! I have 2 Barred Plymouth Rocks (about 2 years old), and back around Easter acquired 2 Easter Eggers. Long story short, I tried to introduce the 2 EE into the coop too early, and the BPRs pecked one to death. The remaining EE has been kept in a small coop fence to fence with the BPR for the last several months, and spending time together in a large fenced area. Trying to introduce the EE into the coop has been a total nightmare! She is just terrorized by one of the BPRs. I went and acquired another hen (an ISA Brown), hoping that by introducing them together it might deflect the total attention from the EE. The one BPR continues to single out the EE for punishment, I put the mean BPR in solitary confinement for almost a week, and peace reigned in the coop. I brought her back, and we're back to square one. HELP!
