I have one chicken who is at the top of the pecking order, Jackie. Well, Jackie pecked a gaping hole in Dolley, the bottom chicken. I iosolated Dolley, she healed. Then while she was gone, Jackie pecked Rosalyn to the point of bleeding. So I took Ros out too. They all healed and went back in, with pine tar on their butts, which seemed to deter Jackie for about a day and a half. I also put cabbage up for something for them to peck, etc. WOrked for a short time.
Now Dolley is re-injured and Jackie is going back after Rosalyn and now is pecking another chicken.
Should I just bite the bullet and re-home Jackie? I removed her tonight and put her in another isolation bin, so she doesn't re-injure Rosalyn again. Dolley is already isolated again.
What would you do?? I also changed their feed back to Flockraiser + oystershell because it seems that when we switched to Layena this all started a couple of weeks ago.
