Hi! So their coop door is always open unless it gets into the teens so they can always go down into their run, but I typically let them out to free range around 1 pm and they'll let themselves back into their coop when it gets dark. I have seen them peck at her, but not incessantly, just one...

Yes, those are the same chicken. Sad, right? Her spots just haven't come back. We do not have night lights out there, so it must not be happening at night then which is good, I suppose. I took some pictures tonight that I'll share. I see no evidence of lice or mites. Her crop was nice and...
