specific hen pecking others

[Lizl]

I've just put 50 Leghorn hens (10wks) in a coop. There is one specific hen that keeps pecking the others on the tail. It's not that they are already injured, but she literally walks after the others to peck them. Should I rather take her out? How do I treat chickens that are injured ?

Blue-kote, it works wonders. you can get it at most feed stores, it also disguises the wounds. I'd give the one causing the pecking some time out. she is highest on pecking order so hopefully giving her sometime out will lower her rank. If you can put her where she can still see everyone and viseversa that way she won't be forgotten just not be able to continue her harassment.
