    picking/pecking other chickens

    UPDATE: So two days ago I noticed 2 (out of 3) are missing good amounts of tail feathers. I have separated the Plucker to small size dog crate in the run with own food and water. Then at night I move cage into coop to stay warm with pine shavings. (No heat lamp and the low will be 2° with wind...

    picking/pecking other chickens

    I bought "peck no more" last night over the Blu Kote. She's still getting pecked.. :-( If it doesn't stop by the weekend I will isolate the one doing the pecking.

    I do not restrict their food or water. They have a 7 lb feeder and a 5 quart jug. It doesn't ice over. Their coop is 4x5 feet. Run is 4x8 feet.

    picking/pecking other chickens

    I have three Rhode Island Reds. They have just recently reached their maturing age. One is laying out of the three. I noticed yesterday that I have my "middle" pecking tail feathers out my last (in pecking order). My producer has nothing to do with it. I understand it's more than likely related...
