So there's no weather proofed run for the birds to use it year round? How about some photos of the set up? How many birds do you actually have, 60?
Space for 60 birds implies a 600 sq ft weather protected run and a 240 sq ft coop, or a 480 sq ft coop to compensate for winter boredom. Picking is almost always caused by either boredom due to lack of space, lack of things to do, or nutritional imbalance - in this case it sounds like both spce and nutrition could be factors.
