Hen Mounting other hen and ripping off neck feathers.

Hey everyone, its been a while since I have replied and im sorry for that. two of the three black sex links that we have were extremely aggressive and one pecked the feathers completely out of one of my leghorns back. I let all the chickens out one day and my leghorn didn't come out and when I found her she was a bloody mess. I picked her up treated her and did everything to save her but she died soon after. It was then we decided to build another small coop hutch to separate the two black sexlinks. many people have offered their advice and said we should stew her. I can't do that yet. they are very mean chickens but they are happy together pecking each other and we still get eggs. soooo I hope this helped and we've learned a lot since then.

You need to google hen peepers. They work by keeping the hens from being able to see individual feathers . They can still eat, drink and see to eat.

They are cheap! And they work.

I tried them and I had a hard time getting them on. so we just built a small hutch to separate them
