so I just built this really cool roost/climbing branch in the chickies brooder box. several of the girls have figured out how to climb up to the highest rung! The problem is that one girl (who I think has kind of been the leader of the pack) hasn't figured out how to get up on it yet, although she really wants to. Now she is jumping and pecking at anyone who gets up there, pulling them down by their feathers....

I worry she is going to hurt someone, but I don;t want to take the roost out (i worked really hard on it and they seem to like being on it) any suggestions on how to deal with a cranky chicken?

Maybe you could give her a shorter roost that she can get up on. We have to do this with one of our hens who can't fly up to the roosts due to an old wing injury. Hopefully that will help your hen get over the jealousy of the others
