Forcing chickens to be friends

[Jenjens]

I have tried isolating the bullied chicken, isolating the bully, but nothing works. Cinnamon is holding a grudge. Luna has been isolated for freaking months and is ruining my garage. When they are supervised, Luna the victim runs and hides from cinnamon which gets the attention of the others who then peck her and she squats and here comes cinnamon to remind her to never mess with her again and jumps on her back. Then they all jump in. When this happens, she immediately gets taken to time out.

Luna is older and small and she has already been rehomed. That would be too stressful for her. Will not cull. We have male ducks so she can't even be separated through the gate because that is where the ducks are ,and if you have male ducks you know why.

Is there any way they can both be isolated in the garage and they just deal with each other for a while and maybe become friends? Sounds stupid but it's another option


Help please

Have you tried removing the instagator?

Isolated together they will likely still have issues.

You may have to do a small coop and run for miss meanie.

No can do no space or money for that, hence the garage

Yes didn't work.

Yes didn't work.

For how long? Where the others still attacking without her around?

Can you post pics of your coop and run?

We may be able to brainstorm another option for segregation.

For 2 days only because I ended up with 2 sick chickens that needed that space. The others wouldn't bother her other than regular pecking.

This is the coop in previous post sorry. Too dark to show the yard, but they don't have a run they have the yard. A gate separates the ducks and chickens and they get switched out so they have a change of scenery for a few hours. They lay their eggs in one part so they get switched out once everyone is done. Here is the duck side, but the other side is larger, but it wouldn't be viewable because it dark over there with no lights now.
