Chickens pecking

[bawk_bawk]

Some of our chickens are pecking at themselves/each other and are causing bald patches on the neck, elbows, and back/butt. I'm applying pine tar, but is there anyting else I need to do? I have AviaCharge vitamin water, and BluKote.

Need to use Mentholatum and really rub it in and on their beaks as well. They hate it with a passion. Also, check to see if they are too crowded or too hot as well.

Are they bored? Do you have different activities for them?

We're planning to sell four of our birds so that our chickens have more space. We also try to get as many apple cores and other interesting treats for them to peck at as often as we can.
