I have 6 chickens all the same age about 4 months old. There are two that are pulling out the tail feathers of the other chickens. Four have almost no tail feathers at all. I don't know if it about establishing the pecking order. But one I had to separate because she was starting to bleed from her tail.
How can I stop them from doing this.
 
Yes the run is about 16 X 8 feet
in the coup Two perches (polls) 4 feet all sit on top side by side.
plenty of feed and water
 
What are you feeding?
How many pullets(girls) and how many cockerels(boys)?
