I really love chickens, from their delicious eggs, to their soft feathers, but one of my chickens, daisy is very aggresive, and always pecks at one of my other hens, Rosey when she gets near. How can I stop this "sibling rivalry" between my chickens? :smack
 
Is two all the chickens you have? If not, how many do you have, and what is the size of your run and coop? Space plays a role in how well chickens get along.

If it's just the two hens and one is stomping the other constantly, you may have a bullying issue that needs addressing. Here is how I handle it. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/chicken-bully-chicken-victim-a-two-sided-issue.73923/
So here is the story. I have 3 chickens, and our family is going to get like 20 new chicks and then we will add 20 full grown chickens to our collection. our coop is like 20 feet by 35 feet, so yeah. we have one rooster, Nugget, Rosey, (the bully victim) and Daisy (the bully) also thanks for the article. I have some knowledge now!!
 
Try to treat Rosey and see if she can build some self confidence before the new chickens arrive. The method I use has never failed to change a victim into a self confident chicken and the bully always backs off after she learns to stand up for herself.
