Hi
I have 8 ladies and for the last 2years or so have been quite happy and laying well
a few months ago they lost most of there feathers from the back ends ( which I’m guessing is moulting?) but lately a couple of them have started pecking and drawing blood on some of the others
any help would be great
they have a large coop and the run is quite a good size 30ft x 17ft so I don’t think that is the problem?
 
a large coop
How big is the coop?
What does the run look like, pics would help here.
Might need to 'clutter' it up for some diversion.

There on layers pellets
then as a treat they get a mix of Maisie, corn, meal worms
i also hang apples and cabbage for them.
Cut out all but the layer feed for a week or two, see if that helps.
What is the protein percentage of the layer feed?
