Looking for good advice and see what others are going through with their chickens. I became a chicken parent of four in 2024. Had two pitbulls get into run by pushing through the doorway, killing all except one escaped. She is still with us except separated. Had been jumped on and pecked a lot by some of the other six I purchased this past year: two Dominiques and 4 Eastereggers. My original one is a Buckeye. Love my chickens, but I DO NOT like the bullying. I know there is a pecking order, but I am not going to let blood show up. I work fulltime and cannot monitor them throughout the day so they have been caged up most of the days.
I did have a fence installed for the backyard for them and reenforced the door.

! Nice to meet you! Personally, I'd separate her with one other hen at a time and see who gets along and who doesn't. There is usually an instigator, find out who that is, separate them, and see if the other ladies all get along. If so, rehome the troublemaker. Always solve problems for peace within the flock!
Glad you joined.
