Somebody help me please! I have 6 chickens they have about a 20x10 area and are usually calm but I just got the sweetest little bantams daisy and coco but my new hamshire Reds lis and ginger won't stop attacking them when my rooster
Skyler mates with them they asse he's attacking and grab there necks and start thrashing them Round tonight I found daisy with a hole the size of their eyeball on her head all I could do was put a bands in on it for now we locked them in a separate cage too snd sometimes let them out but they still get attacked! Please someone help I fear I'll have to give them away and I don't want to please help!
 
Do you have a spot so the smaller birds can get away from the larger ones. I piece of plywood leaned against the side of the coop or a box, with a hole only big enough for the smaller ones to enter. I have this for my young chicks when they join the flock a place for the smaller ones to get away from the bigger ones. A small section of the coop just for them. I know a lot of people have separate coops for their LF hens and bantams because of this issue. Bigger birds like to pick on the smaller sized ones.
