I’m hoping for some feedback/suggestions as I have never experienced this type of situation. I had a hen that was broody for what seemed like forever (over a month) and as soon as it broke and she started venturing out all of the sudden the hen who I believe was at the bottom of the pecking order began bullying her. (I should note, I didn’t leave my broody hen in the nesting box the whole time. I did take her out and make her interact with the rest of the crew so she wasn’t 100% isolated at all times).
Now it’s to the point where if the bully just starts to walk her way she runs and squaks. I have witnessed the bully pin her down on multiple occasions in which I’ve then separated them, but it’s just this one hen the others are all fine.
I hate the thought of getting rid of any of my girls but I can’t let this one particular one be bullied like this the rest of her life.
