Several of my chickens are being pecked by other chickens. Three chicks (8 weeks old) are missing their tail little feathers because of the pecking and eating of feathers.
My white leghorns are pecking the brown leghorns and my Buff Orpington.
My leghorns seem to be aggressive.
My Buff Orpingtons are docile and passives
Is this due to a lack of vitamins?
I let them free range for one hour a day and then placed them back in the coop. Any suggestions?
I have been feeding them start and grow.
What can I do to stop the feather pecking and feather eating?
