I have 6 hens. My head hen (white leghorn) is making it her life’s mission to harass my sole speckled sussex. My speckled has gone broody and so, I go out and take her off the nest four or five times a day . When my speckled gets taken out into the run and put up on a roost, my head hen basically finds a way to get to her and peck her. I am thinking of putting the top hen in “chicken jail” to knock her down a peg in the pecking order, but not sure how and if this is the right approach. Dealing with trying to break a broody and stopping a bully (my head hen does not pick on anyone else, she just seems to have a personal vendetta), I could use some input or ideas. Thanks!
