Single hen

only one of my big girls is pecking the ex batts, so i have shut her in the eglu on her own in the hope that the otheres will all get on OK without her, is this the right thing to do or am I going to create more problems?

it's best to seperate her if the bullying is very bad, but where they can still all see each other. we sectioned off our run with a bit of expanding trellis and made sure both sides had food and water.

Ok got them all apart from fizz in the cube run and they are fine, not quite sure what to do with fizz though, I will keep her in the eglu today and put her back in at bed time, deos that sound OK?

That sounds fine. If she keeps it up, keep her isolated, but where they can see each other for a couple of days. She may lose her place in the hierarchy then and behave herself.

it's a pain but if you keep sin binning her if she's naughty, it will settle down eventually
