Just today I was outside all of a sudden two hens starting fighting.1 is last in peck order.She always is fighting.They do pick on her alot,I think.It all started at the watering place.I just saw how much damage my EE could do to her.I would have let them keep going.I believe the EE started it so I was letting her deserve it,but banty deserved it!Shes always starting fights.But they also fight in my hands.WHY??!! What causes these agrressive moments.I would always see them and watching the 1 in my hand the 1 down below is ready to fight 1 in my hand is scared to death.BTW they only do these to the ones lower or their just bigger in pecking order they will fight them.My buff though fights EVERY hen in there, well tries.I let them attack her because she deserves it she needs to learn!Any suggestions or advice would help!Thanks!
 
I wish I was more help, but I really haven't had to much fighting with my girls. They have spats then get over it pretty fast. Hopefully, someone with some more info will come along for you.
