Lowest in the pecking order.

[SilverWingEggs721]

I recently was checking one of my Marans and noticed she doesn’t have much in her crop at night. She is the lowest in the pecking order I think and has suffered some plucking. I think she may be getting bullied away from the feeders. She is otherwise healthy. Any advice on how to insure she is feeding enough?

I would use either a very long feeder, or something that lots of chickens can eat from. I always feel so bad when there is just this one chicken that has to be the lowest...

Cuckoo Maran. Very similar. My Plymouth Barred Rocks are much bigger than this lady.
