So here is the deal I have 4 chickens in a chicken coop (I can't let them run around because of HOA) and about a month ago one of my chickens (they are all hens) pecked at another until there was a deep gash in the chicken so I took the sick one and put her in a temporary isolation are to let her heal and I had no clue why the other one was being so ruthless so I read it could be because they are bored and don't have enough space so I built an extension as big as I could and added scratch and hay into their run every day to keep them busy hoping it would fix the problems. Then last night she did the same thing to another one of my chickens and this time both of the chickens had blood on their beaks and so I placed the new injured one in with the old injured one but I don't know what to do. So I get rid of the mean one (she is the only one with full feathers because she has picked on everyone else) or what. I need help because my roommate (who owns the house) says I have to get rid of them but he said I could keep one or two so I need to figure out what is the best thing to do get rid of the mean one and keep the two sick ones or what. Please Help Thansk
