I have 2 feeders. One in the coop, and one in the enclosure. It also seems like the Swedish Flower can't drive both of them out at the same time especially if one is eating and the other is across the enclosure drinking. I will put the waterer they used when they were chicks somewhere in the coop too.Add additional feeders and waters. This may be a long term thing or the bully may stop in a few days. You don’t have to go buy and expensive water or feeder, I used 2 liter bottles and cut a troth like opening in the sides (think original subway bread cut). I have them literally zip tied to the coop run. I add food in 2 of them and water in another. The water usually isn’t used but it gives the lower on the pecking order a place to run if needed. The feeders are used like crazy and it has all but stopped this in my flock
I can't really separate any of them because I don't have any other structures besides the main coup, and other than the food and water situations they seem to behave just fine together.
They are 10 month olds so I thought that the pecking order would be found out already
This^^^How much space do you have, both coop and run?
Will do!How much space do you have, both coop and run? What do you have in the space other than a feeder and waterer - it sounds like the run is just an open space? Adding a 2nd feeder (or even a 3rd) can help, but so will clutter to break up the space, provide hiding spots, and give them something to interact with: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/a-cluttered-run.1323792/
Pecking order is a fluid thing and can continue to change over time, even among an established flock
Will do!
Ditto Dat!So is this an elevated coop above a run? Can't really tell, but looks like the run is fairly plan with no real obstacles?
How big is the coop and how big is the run, as far as width and length?
The run is 192 by 101 inches. The coop is a right angle, so the main part is 96 by 48 inches, and their sleeping quarters is 48 by 48 inches.So is this an elevated coop above a run? Can't really tell, but looks like the run is fairly plan with no real obstacles?
