Help - Chicken Pecking Order

Recommended Posts

We have 2 chickens (both cochins) and 2 ducks (buff orpington & swedish blue). They have all happily lived, slept, eaten and played together for almost a year now. The problem we are having is the smallest of the 2 chickens has started to peck at the ducks which are twice her size and occasionally at our other chicken. This happens mostly at meal times but has increased to outside of these times also. She pecks so that tufts of hair comes out in a clump. She has about 4 weeks ago come out of her broody session if this is relevant? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as I would love them all the return the harmony they had before. Thank you.
