So I posted last week but couldn't get the pictures up on time. My hen is having her wing feathers pecked. Not sure by who. Wifi won't stretch for me to be able to set it up to see if this is happening when they go in for the night but I've seen nothing during the day. Tried alamycin blue spray, anti peck spray and no luck. I went out there and now there is blood, not alot but still I put her in a metal dog crate in the coop with food and water. They are on 20% protein with oyster and eggs shells btw. How should I manage this? Any advice appreciated. These pictures are from Saturday

Sometimes when there is no rooster a top hens will start to act like a rooster and mock mate hens. Not sure if that's what's going on or not, but that would be my suspicion. Usually when hens bully each other they tend to go for the vent area.

Thanks for this, I haven't seen anything like this but I will def be keeping an eye on them.
