Chicken getting Pecked Raw! Help!!

[Chlo's chickens!!]

Hopefully @aart will chime in with some ideas.

O.K. The run space you have - is this it or does the back side open to the white fence behind it? It's hard to tell for me.

I worry about predator security so this idea may not be a good one - the space underneath the coop - can that be closed off and made secure somehow? That might work in separating them at night/roosting time, if this is when the picking is happening, but you mention that you have 3more that have loss as well. (happened today?)

If the picking is during the day - space, boredom, protein and/or parasites can all play a part. Adding more run space would be a good step forward - coop space is tight too, but daytime picking is not good. Hang some apple slices, cabbage or kale in several locations along the run - I usually have at least 2 places I hang veggies/fruit. Extra protein like some hard boiled egg are always a favorite too - spread it out in several little bowls - I use at least 4 bowls for treats like that.

I'm very sorry you're having troubles - I think with trying to get them more room you will see improvement - I understand it's frustrating - use Blu Kote on the bare bums.

Thank you so much! Tonight we are going to try to build something bigger so they have more room and can spread out more! I may need to try the chicken peepers, and I just got peck-no-more and blue kote!! Thank you all so much!!

We have a new coop built, I will put pictures below. I am starting to notice that they are not getting worse, but growing feathers back. Thank you all for advice, I apriciate it!!

Here are the pics! Sorry, they make it look way smaller than what it really is.
