Just want to be sure. She's a Dom & lives with 9 red chickens. Just the other day her comb & wattles were pale & shrinking.The dom has had a rough go with this flock. They chase her off & recently I had to put my Roo down because he was attacking me. I have another girl in this flock that was recently separated because the flock pecked her feathers out. I isolated her for over a month to let her feathers grow back & have since added her back to the mob. The flock chases her around as well. Well, as you can see there's alot of turmoil within this flock. Hawks, have been terrible this year so they have been confined to the coop which is also causing more stress. The Dom is real active & eating well when the flock will let her or I'll bring her a separate bowl.
I'm beginning to loose my patience with this situation. What would yall suggest? I have another flock of 16 pullets & their happy & content. I've thought about moving the two over there but worried about disturbing this happy flock.
