Why is my hen bullying the others?

You are always going to have a “boss chicken".

Chickens getting along...for now.

Most times it’s a rooster but it could very well be a hen (guys know how that works)**. If you see some chickens being picked on keep an eye out for which one is doing it. If it’s a rooster you can try to pull his spurs. If that doesn’t work or it’s a hen try clipping its upper beak. You could also isolate it and see if a less aggressive one takes over.
