We have just got 2 rhode island reds but we also have 2 light sussex and 1 bantam but since putting them together the bantam has done nothing but get on her back and peck them. . . . .  what can we do please.......distraught owners....

Hi, i would most definitly segregate them to a 3 and a 2, just until the dust settles! Thats if you can. How long have they been together? You may find that the dust settles quite soon. Also try giving them some tinned salmon/tuna cat food, as they may need a little protein. Unfortunetly the pecking order has to be made so there will always be one at the bottom. My little Martha is at the bottom of my hens order and she is so lovely Hope this helps a little.
