Bully hens

Is that like 12 x 12? It may be too small. Don't give up on her just yet. Sublight had a good idea. Is one less aggressive towards her than the other?

Slightly yeah, just a few mins ago they got into her pen because Im too stupid and forgot to lock it and they beat her into submission, one was at the back of her while the other was pecking her face. They're both aggressive towards her though

And Idek but she loves to sleep in it

Well I was going to say that you could stuff the more aggressive one in the time-out box and let Lilly roam with the kinder hen. That might break them up if they can't see each other.

Can you try and get ahold of a few peepers ?
They fit on the chicken's beak usually with a pin through the nostrils, but you can get the 'pinless' type.
They allow the bird to go about its business, but makes it difficult for them to peck each other.

here's a photo off the internet...........
I also noticed you can get them from e-bay now, a pair at a time, so getting just a few would be easy. Not sure about shipping though.

I doubt my dad will spend money just because a hen is getting bullied

$1.80 each ??????????? Hopefully that is not too much, other wise you will have to isolate the hen from the bullies.
