How To Cure Fighting problems
I know how hard it is to cure fighting probs,but i've experienced lots.
If you are wanting to introduce new chickens to others its best to do it threw fences.
Some people immeditly will throw their chickens in the pen and let them battle it out.
If you immeditly want them in the pen best is to put treats out to aviod lots of fighting.
Free ranging chickens helps them as well.This works with young ones so they can run.
Intergrating them at nights great!Waking in the morning thinking they were there already.

I hope I helped!

There is corn mixed in my layer feed from the mill, it is crushed up, should I switch to something else.

Thanks for the info.

I have given all of these treats to my chickens besides the chocolate and sugar and they are perfectly fine with absolutely everything. They have never choked or had any problems.

Corn is the often the base for most nutritionally balanced poultry feeds, there's nothing wrong with feeding corn in moderation...the OP is way off base on that.

I feed a small amount of cracked corn to my hens in the winter. The cracked corn takes longer to digest than regular feed so the act of digestion helps to keep them warm at night. I wouldn't say that corn is to be avoided completely, just don't give them to much at a time. If you look at the labels of most commercial layer feed the first ingredient is corn.
