Hi it's me again.
My Black Australorp Penny Is getting picked on way to much. Her head is almost completely bald now and her butt also doesn't have a single feather on it. My Barred Rock chicken Feathers, is top of the pecking order and she doesn't take any nonsense. I have 7 chickens in total and the only girls that don't pick on penny is my Buff orpington Buff, and my Lavender orpington Lavender, (I know, not very creative names).
How do I get them to stop picking on Penny and is there any way to make a chicken higher in their pecking order?
 
I have a very large dog crate in their run that I put one of my chickens in named New Hampshire, because she was picking all of my other girls feathers. Would that work?
