The leghorns have a roost, 4 nesting boxes, a hanging water and feeder they love to sit on. Poor Dove has to sleep on a little rope in the rain and cold thats why I took her out of the Leghorn coop. There is one more hope for her though maybe just MAYBE I could put her in the barred rock coop It has more places to go. My hen Lacey (that died from a dog attack) was picked on so she slept on top of the nesting boxes. Maybe Dove can too. Should I try to put her in?You could try things to ease the intensity of conflicts. Some examples are more space, more ways to get out of sight (things to climb on or under or go behind), provide more opportunities to scratch, dust bath, sun bath, perch, peck at... Also, it wouldn't hurt to check their diet and feeding and watering systems.
