Hello! New member here from Northeastern Massachusetts. I just joined as all is not well in backyard chicken keeping land due to a bully hen.

Welcome to BYC!
The largest percentage of bullying issues seem to be caused by insufficient space in the coop and run.

We have 5 hens, our girls have a palatial coop, run and backyard for free ranging.

Thanks! Our girls free range for most of the day and have a huge coop and run.

I'm glad it's not an issue with space.
Of course that means it will be a little harder to diagnose the real issue.
There is an excellent article on BYC about isolating the bully. I can't remember who wrote it, but someone will be along that has a better memory.
