I’ve got 4 BRocks and 4 BJJ that all seem to have a pecking problem. I’ve put blinders on 6 of the 8, but still see bullying and pecking behavior out of multiple chickens.
I’ve tried adding extra roosts and places to go in the run, spreading out the roosts so they can’t peck at night, increasing the amounts of protein in their diets, more leafy green treats, blu-more, but I can’t seem to stop the pecking and feather pulling.
My rocks look terrible and all of the giants exhibit signs of feathers being plucked or pecked at. I watched them for a bit and have seen all of them chasing others around. What do you do in a situation like this? It’s a crap situation for the birds to live in and I can’t be sure that it’s just a single bird.
Suggestions,
Thanks
