That sounds like the perfect example of how you know who stands where on the pecking order. It's perfectly natural and I let them be, they have never escalated into a fight. I would only worry about malnouisshment if Goldie stopped laying. If she's laying I suspect she's getting the nutrients. Check all their crops right before bed to see if they are nice and fullSo my Barred Rock, Teriyaki, is a bit of a bully too, I like how you put it nicely "rules the roost", she pecks at my Red Sex links face when eating, If I catch her I typically shoo her away. Teriyaki is very friendly towards us doesn't mind being picked up at all-just a big ole piggy when it comes to feeding, My sweet Goldie (RSL) will just move away from her and my Silver Laced Lyandotte, Sue Ellen, is just indifferent with her, she is as big or even bigger than Teriyaki (BR)-who does not usually mess with her. Do you just let this pecking order play out or do you intervene? I worry about my Goldie not getting enough to eat as she is my super layer and a very sweet disposition girl.
