One of our five hens died unexpectedly a week ago. As if that was not sad enough now the two largest hens are bullying our bantam, and to a lesser extent their other flockmate. I am pretty sure the one who died was the bottom of the pecking order though our flock seemed very peaceful. I have read to wait up to 2 weeks for the order to be established. I plan to wait it out unless the bullies draw blood. If that happens I will put the victim in a separate area until we figure out what to do. I put alternate feeding and watering stations so that there are options for them. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
