Hen pecked

[Bonnieboo]

My little auracana is the lowest in the pecking order who is mostly bullied by her sister. The other two join in if she tries to share food.
She spends so much of her time alone and when she's with the others, she's nervous. I hate so much her being bullied to the point where she is neurotic!
She's too scared to join the others in bed as her sister always stands at the end of the bed (they won't use a roost).
At bed time I always find her hiding a long way from the others. At first, I used to put her up, some distance from her sister but I wonder if she gets to my little one and bullies her at night when I'm gone.
Is it better to put her up with the others each night or leave her to be on her own?

Leave her be. There's always a bottom bird. How big is their coop? I've seen where submissive birds had to stay 5-10 feet away from the dominant birds or else they get pecked. The smaller the set up the more likely there is to be some bullying. Make sure there are multiple places to eat and drink, and add things for birds to hide behind, under, or on top of.
