In the Brooder
Ok thank you. I will switch their food to all flock and get some oyster shells as well.I don't have any direct experience with bullying, so I'm repeating what I have read.
Many people have found it helpful to switch to an all-flock feed of at least 18% protein, preferably 20% -- offering oystershell on the side.
Do you have a dog crate you could put her into? I use one as a broody breaker: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/outdoor-broody-breaker.76592/
I do provide them with "Golden Egg Farmers Helper" treats which say they have protein and other good stuff as well.
I went out earlier today and tried to apply the pecking prevention and wound healing care on the chickens, but I was unable to apply it because I couldn't catch them. I am going to have to wait till they go in to roost to try and do that.
I do have a dog crate I could use. I am just confused on how I would use it in this case because I am not sure if she can be reunited with the flock.
Should I put the dog crate in the garage and fully isolate her? Or should I put the crate inside the run with the other chickens?
