Bullied Hen

Recommended Posts

One of my ex-bats is being bullied by the others ( one in particular is being very vindictive ) it's only been going on for the last couple of days but it's got to the point where the bullied hen stays in the Eglu. Do I need to interfere or do you think they will sort it out in time?

As long as no blood is being drawn, it should settle.

 

If food is an issue, it might be a good idea to set up three feed and drink stations for a while. Sounds a lot of faff, but the naughty one will only be able to "man" two, so the timid one will not go hungry.

 

If you have time, you could get the hospepipe out and give the naughty one a cold shock every time she is vicious. That often works.

 

Good luck.
