Four weeks ago, we had a group of three. But after Jette started pecking Henna's butt (which can end deadly), it was clear she needed to be kept separate. I had ordered an anti-peck spray, but surprise, it didn't help. It just stank up the coop. So we continued to keep Jette in the coop and the other two in the run. But one day, we discovered that Henna had bloody legs! Apparently, Cleo freaked out and started pecking Henna, all of a sudden, ugh! At that point, we separated all three (which is feasible during the day, but not at night). But Jette jumped over the mobile fence and went straight for her sister. Jette was so aggressive, I even considered sending her to my parents’ friends to be butchered. But before resorting to the chicken soup solution, we made one last attempt: We asked neighbours down the street, who keep around 30 chickens, if they're willing to give Jette a chance. They were reluctant at first but eventually said we could just drop her into their coop. 🫣 So that's what we did. I was hesitant at first – introducing new chickens usually takes time and patience – but we were desperate, so we gave it a shot. And hey, it actually worked! The other chickens were super curious when we put Jette in their midst. Jette started to scratch immediately. In this big group, she's lower in the pecking order and has to behave herself. Now, she's fully integrated and is laying again. Kiddo visits her occasionally and the neighbours keep me updated, haha. So, aggressive hen sorted, and we're down to two hens.
