Depluming mites and treating the RUN

[McChooky]

I'm down to 3 brown leghorns after starting with nine chicks.
A predator got one and 4 were re-homed for picking the feathers off their flock mates.Sometimes its a housing issue because certain breeds need more room.The leghorns I have now are very sweet hens.

Edit:
The feather peckers didn't peck the Sapphire Gem or the Australorp hens.They only pecked on their flock mates(same size and breed)

Ugh. Frustrating!!

I think they have plenty of space. 45 square feet per hen at the moment
