Hens are attacking each other

How many chickens do you have and how big, in feet or inches, is the coop and run?

Do you have sufficient "clutter" for the subordinate birds to get away from the dominant ones?

Has anything changed in your flock situation recently?
The coop is 8’x6’
Run 17’x6’

I have 5 chickens

The only clutter i have is the pallets because they haven’t been fighting.

The only thing that might’ve changed is the chicks are starting to lay and the yellow chicken is going through a molt

I'd guess it's raging hormones and the older hens feeling their status threatened by the new layers.
