They are getting 2 different kinds of feed. Layer feed and scratch grains and sometimes some leftover food
I wonder if it's really problematic or just the usual "savage" chicken world. There is a cartoon by Doug Savage that quips "a chicken's world is a savage place." In a way, that is certainly true or may seem so to the uninitiated.
One thing that could be a factor is the feed. Are they getting enough protein? If you are feeding them 100% corn, they are not, just as an example. That, other than space, is the only thing I can really think of that would make them hurt each other that way.
