Can you put her in a cage inside the existing coop / run so she can see them around her but not get to them? Maybe doing that for a week or two would help her work through her aggressiveness?

Should we put it inside the Cooper, should we put it next to the coup because when we did put it in the coup, she was still trying to run at them, and the kids doing rocking back and forth, I'm sure she would stop that eventually, but I just wonder if it would be better to just put her on the outside or in their

I would absolutely do see but no touch. Keep her in a dog crate inside the run for a week or 2 and see if she shapes up. While pecking is expected, how it should go is chick gets too close, she pecks, chick runs off and that's the end of it. If a bird is chasing and trying to pin a chick like that, that's beyond normal pecking order stuff and there should be an intervention between them as she's actually trying to kill them at that point

How big is the inside of the coop and how big is the run? Can you share a photo as well, we might be able to help with a good location to add the crate that way.

They have helped a lot of people with smaller flocks and a mean bird. They look a bit much, but the bird can eat, drink and get on the roost, but she cannot see to chase birds.

Thank you. Yes I put her in there in a dog crate a few days ago I will keep updated.

I'm not sure the exact dimensions, and I always forget to take a picture when I'm there. (I'm always checking my phone when I'm not home.) I did put her into the run in a little dog crate a couple days ago. I will send a pic as soon as I can.

What breeds are these?

I would just keep her separate and try her with them weekly and as they get closer in size to her, she should stop this.

Honestly they are pretty much the same size.. I have 9 birds, 6 different breeds.. so I do not remember all of them. I could find out.

 

[BabyBThatChick]

No, she's not, but I do have 2 of those lol one of them is starting to get a little nasty.

Is she a Rhode Island Red? If so, there’s no fixing her. Soup time.

I'm so confused, I think I responded to this, but this web site is very confusing l O l. But yeah, I have 9 different birds, and there's 6 different breeds. So I do not remember that lol, but I could find out, and they basically are the same size. They might just be a tiny bit smaller than her.
