Okay, is the bullying not too too bad?

I'd check her over for mites or lice.

I didnt thnk the bullying was too bad. I will check for mites or lice! Thanks. Shes the only hen that has this going on

Thanks for the tip! I can go overboard especially when its hot out.

It can be easy to spoil them.

I do thnk so after closely watching this week. Do the pecking orders shift? She wasnt before. I know its natural for them- the pecking order, but its still sad for this newbie. She is such a sweetheart!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Do the pecking orders shift?

Yes.
She could have rooster damage and/or skipped her molt last fall.

Welcome @LindsayDarling

Glad you could join us all here! I too agree that a pecking order shift and over breeding from the boys could be the problem.

Good luck with your birds and enjoy BYC
