My rooster has blood on him. I also see blood on one of other chickens. They are very interested in a corner but we can’t figure what has happened. I’m not sure what to look for. A few of the chickens are pecking at the rooster now, in the I just red spot. There’s also some blood in the feeder.
Can you help me come up with some theories? And also, what should I do?

My larger combed roos are not able to eat out of feeder ports. Mine pick up what hens drop and one hole that they can eat from. It was an oops when making, but it works well for my big boys.
 
Great. Why so high? Can you lower it to chest high?

It is higher than the other feeders because I don’t want this to be the dominant feeder. This type of feeder doesn’t work great as they flick out more food than they eat (hence the other feeders that I have). I don’t mind having this feeder primarily for my big rooster. And some of my other tall hens.
