Canible chicken cure?

[Locuck]

Is there a cure for a chicken that loves to eat other chickens? I have 10, 4-6 week old White Leghorns, for 2 weeks now i have had bloody tail feathers on a couple different chicken watching them after the first week i noticed one was doing all the damage.

I seperated it for a couple days then reintroduced it same thing happend couple more days and today i let it back in again and right off its starts again.

Its not protien and it could be space i guess but when i put the one chicken up the bloody tails stop. and its just the normal pecking. i have put blue-kote on the damaged chickens.

Just wondering if anyone has cured a HEN-able Lector ?

You said it could be space..what kind of space do you have them in?

they are in a 8' x 6' x 10' run with a 3' x 3' coop. a 30' x 10' extended run is in the works but its a week away. i realize this area is to small for 10 chickens but they are not yet full grown. and the trouble stops when i take out the one offending chicken.

I would just get rid of that one hen.I had 3 leghorns and 3 red sex link.The leghorns were very aggresive towards the sex link so I finally sold all 3.

Yep, I'd get rid of the agressive one too.....
