Hello! I’m hoping someone can give me an idea here. So I have 4 chickens, 3 white rocks and 1 Jersey giant, unfortunately the jersey giant is being bullied by the rest of the flock. They have been together since they were babies and just recently they all gang up on her and now her head is bald and her comb is covered in dry blood. I know there’s a pecking order but I don’t think the bottom tier chicken should be treated like that. I was wondering if I could move her into my duck run with my two female Pekin ducks? Their runs are right next to eachother and they see eachother through the fence and have no issues but I don’t know what to do when only one chicken is being bullied. Normally you remove the bully but do I remove all three ?
 
i would guess its just a breed mix issue .. some dont get along well with others .. making 2 seperated feeding stations if you only have one might help and i'd pen off the hurt one until it heals before i tried a few strategies .. in the end it may just not work with an oddball chicken in the group ..

Okay that makes sense, I did have two jersey giants but one ended up being a rooster and I didn’t want a rooster

How old are these birds, in weeks or months?
How big is their coop and run, in feet by feet?
Dimensions and pics would help immensely here.
