I'll appreciate any tips. We have had chickens for 9 years now. We have a mixed coop, and I swear I'll never buy another Wyandotte...lol. They are just "different". Anyway, 4 years ago we bought 4 Cinnamon Queens and 2 blue laced Wyandotts. They have been together for 4 years now. Two weeks ago, the Dots started bullying one of our Cinnamon Queens. We finally put the Queen in our coop that we can block off. We've had them separate, we'll let them out together to free-range and yet they will start attacking her, and she finally runs to the coop to hides. She's heathy, no issues that we can see, she just runs when they start attacking her and then even the roster starts at her.
So, we are 2 weeks in now with isolation and limited access, and it seems the blue laced dots are the bullies. Now, I'm thinking, I'll turn the tables and put the blue dots in the isolations coop and let the queen who's been being bullied go out with the rest and see what happens. It seems the Dots trigger this aggression, any thoughts or opinions??
