I have six hens. Two each ISSA Browns, Rhode Island Reds, Americana's. All raised together from days old. They are now one year old. ISSA Brown started pecking feathers off the other hens. One Rhode Island was losing weight, and couldn't stay warm; therefore house ICU for 3 weeks. I was able to reintroduce her to the flock. The ISSA Brown started pecking feathers again; I removed her from the flock; now the two ISSA Browns fight aggressively; drawing blood on the cones, neck feathers all fluffed up when fighting. Should I let them figure it out on their own? The smaller ISSA starts the aggression; but the larger is more powerful.
