I have a bully hen

And, to add:

Chickens in general are not always very nice.
It is hard to judge them, though, being that most everything in the world wants to eat them. I probably wouldn't be very nice either.
 
At first it seemed like food rights, so I put out 2 separate bowls of food several feet apart. That appeared to help. However, I've witnessed the bully run halfway across the yard just to peck at one of her usual victims.
She is now a permanent resident of the smaller coop of her own.
I alternate who gets yard freedom every other day, and one day between I let them all out together under supervision.
With winter approaching, I want her to be back with the others.
 
I am reading this thread and saw "pin less peepers" and said, "what?"
I looked it up. These are blinders for chickens, attached to their nostrils. How clever! I just bought a bag of 25 from MacMurray Hatchery. I will give this a try on my problem rooster.

Make it so that a bird eating at one bowl, cannot see a bird eating at another bowl. You can use a large tote, laid on its side (this will act as a wind protection too) put a bowl in front and at the back. Even a large cardboard box will work for some time. Pallets are also good to make mini walls, any object that will block a line of sight.
