Chicken Bully!! Help please!

Chicky Woos123 · Apr 5, 2016

Hi everybody! One of my hens has been getting very frustrated when I put them inside of their coop at night. When she gets mad,she takes it out on the other hens. She's bit my other 2 hens twice every night because that's just how mad she gets. It's really starting to get on my nerves, but I don't want her to hurt the other hens. But I also don't want to get rid of her since she's a good layer. Any suggestions? I've thought of isolating her in a different area of the coop every night. Anyone else think that this might work? Thanks for any advice!!

Chicken society is sort of like 'mean girls' in high school. If she's being a bully and you have the facility, pen her away from the others in the evening.

So agree with @sourland, in my case my leghorns were the bullies and also the best layers, pinless peepers work for my bullies for few months then taken off when peace is restored.
