I am new to BYC and am very concerned about one of my girls. I have 9 Rhode Island Reds and 7 are missing back and tail feathers. The other 2 are not missing any. I have caught them pecking and jumping on the other girls. My husband caught one of them doing their bullying and we put her in TIME OUT, in a large dog crate inside the coop. My problem is it is night time and she is crying and flying around the crate, grabbing the metal door and banging into the sides. I am ready to let her out and put her in the coop for the night. It is heart breaking but so is watching the rest of my girls getting pecked daily. Please help. What should I do tonight.
