Adding a Bully Hen to our flock | What were we thinking?
A friend of ours has a hen who seems to be quite the bully with her small, but growing flock. Heidi's & my family share chickens, we have 20 chickens that used to have a pecking order. Once we added Russell Crow, our rooster this past winter, he has corrected any pecking order issues.
We were quick to move when Ashley texted us asking if we wanted her mean hen to add to our flock, knowing we have a rooster. Join us as we pick up and add Pam to to our brood.
Tips for adding a Bully Hen:
If you have a rooster: add the hen to your coop at night, when they are already roosting. Roosters naturally help calm the ladies, and put a pecking order at ease.
Whether you have or don't have a rooster, Watch for bullying tendencies such as pecking excessively at other hens, fighting for more than 20 seconds, or chasing down other hens. Bullied hens can lose feathers, but also egg production can drop. If you notice any of these, separate the bully hen into a secured cage where the other chickens can see her for 24 hours before reentering the flock.
We always suggest first quarantining a hen when introducing her to your flock. Pam was gifted to us from a friend and we knew her health status and also knew she was a clean bird without mites or lice.
