Excellent advice, I'll be trying this with a langshan. Don't know if it's a breed thing but he's definitely timid. His cockerel flockmate seems to be going out of his way to harass him. Honestly, Im afraid the langshan will hurt himself trying to get away. I'm sure hormones are playing a role but it's worth a shot. The bully has overall improved since being added to this coop and separated from his brother. He just has it out for this poor lanshan
