    Given chickens that are all pecked up. Can they be slaughtered and eaten?

    I'm not sure on the slaughter question, I had one chicken pecked naked from the neck down after about 2 months she grew all her feathers back and 5 months later you would never know what happened to her. She is 3 years old and lays an egg almost every day.

    Hen injured by rooster

    Our rooster (barred rock) had 5 barred rock hens, he was always mean to us and somewhat rough with the hens. He killed a hen and injuried 3 more, you are wise to take care of the problem before something worse happens. Needless to say the rooster is gone.
