Chicken Bullying: How to Stop Them Pecking Each Other

Todays’ article tackles one of the least endearing qualities of our beloved hens – bullying. 
It is more than establishing the ‘pecking order’- it is systematically picking on one or two hens for no apparent reason. 
Bullying can be limited to feather plucking or it can escalate into full blown warfare with the receiving hen being severely injured or possibly killed. 

In this article we will cover what the usual causes of bullying are, how to stop them pecking each other and finally what to do when you need to intervene.

    My solution was to get a couple birds that I knew would outgrow my bully. She's awful quiet and docile now.
