I'm at the end of my rope.

What breeds are you trying to keep together?

How is your flock doing now? I hope some improvement.

We got everyone at the same time. They grew up together.

That is a tough one. As you know they can be brutal! Have you tried giving the worst offenders a time out within view of the rest of the flock? I had the same issue a while back. I had a bully that went lame so in the garage she went as she healed. Then another hen had a bad prolapse. So two hens in the garage. When they both got well. I reintroduced them to the flock. The bully hen had been in the garage for at least a month the hen with prolapse only two weeks. She had a couple days of pecking order scuffles but that was quickly resolved. The bully took longer but eventually it worked out just fine. Now all is well! Might be worth a try if you know who the troublemakers are.

That is a great outcome.

I have a bully in my flock and I was having her outside for the rest of this May, but then the rain comes so it stuff up the process. She is back with the flock, but so far no bad behaviour..finger cross she stays that way
