Ty, yes they in a LG pen, they have plenty things to do, I have hanging toys, roost, dusting bath, still they pecking..I give them boiled eggs, & lettece, sunflower seeds, worms, crickets & plus their feed..I think they are spoiled rotten bc if I leave & come bk in my house the roo starts crowing no matter what time of the day, then hens start making their clucking noises, & I'll go bk out & see feathers again..They so Bad, lol..I can't stay out there all day, had to even put a light I'm their house for them are they wouldn't go in it..They Spoiled..Ones comes here & they laugh bc they see how they do..Guess I did wrong by holding & talking to them, now they want me to sit a talk to them all day long..lol.. Ty for ur reply..Guess I will just watch their skin & make sure it don't get Red..Someone said u can buy this stuff called "Peck No More", & that stops them, but I just don't know abt putting stuff on them, what abt u, would u??..Tks again
 
I thought of that product too. Might be a good idea to use it now before there is a real problem. Nip it in the bud. Once they see blood they go crazy so try to stop them now. Are the nests for individuals and are they dark?
 
I have a light in the house, & the boxes are away from the light, I have shavings in their boxes & they stay very clean orher than a feather in them every now & then..I guess I will get some of that peck no more & try it..Ty!!
 
It could be one hen that has this bad habit. Watch them to see. Also check for mites as sometimes they get a lot of mites around the tail and vent and pick a lot to get rid of the irritation.

It could be because the hen has not finishedher moult and is notnin breeding condition. It could also be because the rooster is very young and the hen is older. Hens can be very discriminating. Hens often chase off an amorous "teenager" when they have a mature male available. If he was only 2 months old when you got him, the hen may have already established her dominance over him. If she can beat him up, she won't allow him to mate. Maybe separate them for a while until the hen is in lay again and eager to mate. The rooster will be older and may be able to dominate her. The game fowl breeding could be hard to vercome. What breed is your new rooster?
I was in a yard with some chickens. They had a couple of Golden Seabright roosters. They also had some big Thai gamecocks. The Thai birds were mature, but allowed the tiny Seabrights to dominate them because the Seabrights were already mature when the gamecocks were just babies. Pretty funny.
