I am at my wits end. I've had chickens for 5+ years, and have never had an issue like i'm having now. I introduced 6 pullets to my established flock at the end of the spring. Things went as expected, and all was fine. We took a bunch out to show at the local 4H fair in September. The day after we got back, one of my Wyandotte's that was introduced in the spring had been pecked to the skull. She was in bad shape when I found her, and separated her out to my garage. I cleaned her up and kept her there to heal. several weeks later, as second Wyandotte was also pecked to the skull, but not so bad. I also separated her out. I can't tell who's doing it.
Last night the first Wyandotte was healed to where I put her back int he coop at night, and took out a mean hen, who I thought was doing the deed and put her in her own cage. Today the chickn that I put in last night is pecked to the skull again. I'm afraid to put the other one in, and I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?
Whats going on?
Note:
I have 6 other hens, all different ages, and one Cock, who seems to be a very good Rooster.
