I just got five new hens from someone today and he warned me that one (Jessica) is the lowest in the pecking order.
Jessica has been bullied and pecked at all day, I even brought her inside for a bit to give her a break.
She hasn’t eaten or drank and just lays down and takes whatever pecking the other hens dish out.
I understand there is probably some stress from being rehomed, but what is the best way to approach this situation?
They live in a 300sqft run with a large coop.
