Chickens turned aggressive?

Yea that's not molting.. feather "degradation" when molting usually starts around the "upper butt bump" area... that poor lil thing is getting picked on, sorry man but you need to expand a little, perching areas, especially with dividers would work great. Not the end of the world... even more free ranging time would really help (4-6 hours if you can).

Mine use to pick at each other a lot at "bedtime". Solved it by playing hawks videos on my phone when they would be acting up in the coop. Everyone got quiet and stopped being hens-bully really quick. Little a-hole-ish but worked

I also put an "IT" clown dummy under my 5yo bed.... joking.

Truth!!!
To be honest (dating myself here) we came over to another family's house to watch poltergeist on a betamax tape. I swear to you that if my father had snuck that clown into my room... I probably would have torched the house to solve the problem. (I am only sort of joking too....)

Yeah Exorcist is a big no.... I know people now-a-days would say the special effects are terrible... but back then... wooo... scared the living daylights out of me.

LOL!!! all relative... back then it was awesome and still is ... not dating yourself, we're all in this together

Funny story.. saw some 1970's Dracula movie once, must've been 1984 ish, staying over at my aunt... who was kinda weird, no kids but super sweet and "permissive" ... movie ended, she looks at me and pushes her dentures out and says "READY FOR BED????" lol.. I lost it and popped her. lol... never shared that before...

Good times.
