    chickens pecked out other's neck feathers....

    Their perch is a long piece of wood screwed to the side wall. Ya that might be smart to put a window in back there's not a ton of light. And they LOVE to dig so they probably love that pine shavings idea!! I'm gonna try to free range them tomorrow and let the other two back with them then.

    chickens pecked out other's neck feathers....

    the picture didn't get the back half of the coop and my chickens don't even go in the back, its strange... you think she could just be molting? shes pretty young though. does that matter? and we let our chickens free range a lot so there not always in the coop if they don't want to be.
