Sounds like you've got an Alpha hen who wants to make sure everyone knows she's the boss. Perfectly normal chicken behavior. However, if she becomes too aggressive and continually is pulling out feathers and drawing blood, then she should be by herself or rehomed.
 
pie master, while it may seem like the pecking is too much for the rest of the flock it is pretty normal. Keep an eye to make sure everyone is without injury. Somehow they always adjust to everyone in the flock and peace is somewhat created, although never completly in the chicken world.

they are not drawing blood. one is just pecking the other one and I wasn't sure why.
