Luna my cochin bantam suddenly thinks the new roost I built is all hers
You all know cochin bantam are small little things.
I used to have just 2 small roost bars screwed into the corner of the coop and Luna really didn't use them. My cuckoo maran liked the high bar luna would either go to the other roost on the other side of the coop or sit with another one of my hens on a small table I have in there

Well I built a 3 bar roost. About 3 feet long for each roost. Luna suddenly thinks she owns the whole thing. My polish and my maran get on it she chases them away and pecks at them. Doesn't matter what bar or how far they are from her. She just won't share

Poor Izzy and hazel want to be up there.

Think Luna will get over being selfish ? She can't take up a whole corner of the coop for herself brat
 
Is your flock just the 3 you describe? If so there's probably no harm in her staking her claim. Things should settle down once the "new roost smell" wears off. Is she normally dominant in other things?

Right now my flock is 4 chickens 4 ducks
I have 6 bantams hatching in a few days in my incubator and 1 light Brahma who is a month old inside with me while they slowly get to know her
I bring her out and put her in her own area within the coop
