When I started my chickens 2 years ago, I started with 5 chickens. Then a year ago one of my chickens was broody and we kept 2 of their chicks. So right now we have 7 chickens. Lately, one of chickens, a Buff Orpington, has been getting picked on by almost all of the other chickens in my flock. The chicken that has been getting picked on has lost feathers on their neck and even some blood has resulted. I’ve seen this chicken crouch down when the other chicken approaches them as the other chicken pecks on their neck. They are also hiding and not coming out with the rest of the flock unless we call to them by name. We are working on getting the chickens into a new, larger coop and we are isolating the chicken from the rest of the flock. I’m not sure what the cause of this is and what do about it?!
