Hi.
I have had my chickens for almost a year now and my New Hampshire red chicken named New Hampshire started to pluck out all of my other girls feathers. That's mostly over now but she is actually now "mounting" only one of my other hens. Her name is Penny and her head is almost completely bald now because of the other girls picking on her. She is the bottom of the pecking order and she doesn't fight back to anyone including New Hampshire. The mounting is becoming a problem now because I'm afraid shes going to get hurt. What do I do to get her to stop mounting penny?
