I have five girls, all different breeds, about 7 months old. They've been laying for a couple of months now, my EE was first. We lost our silkie to a hawk and now it seems that my EE is bottom of the pecking order. She gets chased from the feeder (I offer her food in the coop where she hides sometimes), she won't take treats unless I separate her and offer her some privately. She's a little smaller than the rest now but doesn't seem underweight. She went broody about 4 weeks ago and after almost a week, I broke her of it. She hasn't layed since she was broody. I can't figure out if the stress is causing her to stop or if she's still recovering from broody.
Anyone?
Also, she was pecked a bit by the other girls but her feathers are almost all back in and the pecking has stopped.
