I have 6 pullets and one all of a sudden decided to peck the heck out of one of the other ones. The injured one has a giant bald spot on the back of her head that was bleeding some. I treated the injury but I'm at a loss for what to do with the bully. I have a small-ish coop with an attached covered run as well as a mobile PVC and wire run. Once I figured out which one is the bully, I moved her to the mobile run by herself. I've tried several times over the past few days to reintroduce her but she runs right to the injured one and starts pecking her again.
Seeing as I live in the 'burbs and am not a farmer, what should I do? I don't feel prepared to whack her. Also do I need to have an even number in my flock if I get rid of her? The other 5 are getting along swimmingly.
