one of my hens has become really agressive towards just one other , i have four but she only picks on this one the others are fine . shes always been a bit stroppy but never attacked any of the others till this weekend and she wont leave her alone . ive seperated her but dont know what else to do with her , might have to find her a new home do you think

keep the aggressive one separate for a few days - she will lose her place in the pecking order. Sometimes just by doing this is enough but if she starts to get aggressive again then try fitting a beak clip onto her. She will still be able to eat and drink but will not be able to pluck feathers.
