I'd have to check the feed I dont remember right of hand. They have a 10x 20 foot run but the chicken house is small and we lock them up at night, we are currently building a larger one for themThe only way to prevent it is to expand their run or maybe change their diet. What protein percentage are you feeding them?
We have a heat lamp in their coop should we leave that off at night?Get some pine tar at Tractor Supply, and apply it to the red bottoms, keeping it an inch or so away the vents. That can help prevent vent pecking. Your chickens are pecking and starting to cannibalize each other. What are you feeding them? They should get chicken feed as 90% of their intake, and that should be 16-20% protein. Stop treats, scratch, corn or table scraps since that will dilute the prorein they need. Chickens need about 4 square feet of room if they are not getting outside to free range. Boredom can be a problem, also too much light for too many hours.
I only have that one right now but can post more when I get off workPictures?
