Suemgas Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hi iv got a problem 3 ex battery hens We took then in on 13 November 21 there’s bully blogs, angel and baby. Bully got her name as you can guess because she has made herself top hen. Angel and baby except this and were getting on well but after a couple days angel started pecking baby. She picks on her every chance she gets. It’s not just about food it’s about everything Iv had to separate at night but during the day because of chicken lockdown they have a nice set up in a large greenhouse Iv partitioned off enough space to put baby on her own when I’m not there does anyone know will they ever live happy ever after or will angel and bully blogs never be nice to baby im new to chickens, I just thought they were gonna Lov each other 🤦♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Sorry to hear you are struggling. Ex battery hens can be very feisty ladies. There is always a bottom hen, that’s just how chicken society works. As long as there is no blood drawn and your bottom hen does get a chance to feed and drink, there really is no issue, although we humans perceive this differently. Make sure there are a number of feeding spots and drinkers, so you can make sure she is getting her share. Also providing a number of perches, so she can get out of the way, can help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 What @Cat tails said. Perhaps add a couple of cabbages too to give them some entertainment but spaced well apart so one hen can't dominate over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
