pecking order

[melloladies]

Hello!
Is there any reason that all of a sudden one chicken would get picked on? She's always been on the bottom- but recently (within a week) I've noticed that my #2 girl is singleing her out and I feel so bad for her

Anything ya'll can think of? The girl being picked at hasn't layed yet- so i thought maybe it had something to do with maturity?!?!
IDK!

Someone has to be at the bottom of the pecking order, guess she got unlucky. I recommend you take your #2 girl and put her in lockdown for about 5 days, then reintroduce her back with the others. I bet she wont be pecking on the hen that's currently at the bottom of the pecking order anymore.
