    Why are my chickens plucking out each others fluffy bum feathers and eating them?

    I keep mine on the grower feed(18%protein) and offer oyster shell free choice. I believe most layer feeds are 16%, unless you get it from a feed mill. I have read that they eat more in the winter to keep body heat up. Increasing protein can do this.

    Why are my chickens plucking out each others fluffy bum feathers and eating them?

    How old are they? I noticed mine did that right before they started laying. Then it stopped after about a week. I think it is a protein issue, body using a little more for egg production.
