How to reduce unwanted behavior?

[Swampy_9]

Hello! i am having a problem with my entire flock i am afraid.

Ever since my rooster got very sick to where he wasn't moving and Recovered he has come back with a punch. He's not mean, he's still pretty docile, i noticed that he does peck more at the hens he doesn't really like, But nothing that will seriously hurt them. We just got into nice weather so i assume maybe its that added on to it?

I know fighting can happen from time to time. But i noticed the entire flock has become more antsy if that's the word to use. When i go give them their food in the morning and the evening they are crowding and right now fighting. Luckily nothing serious, blood yes, But not absolutely maiming each other.

Like four or Five months ago i had two new hens, and while they get picked on the most, It is almost like all of them have been pecking each other even more? I don't know what this is or if i can fix it?

Maybe i should get more Feeders and waterers? or is it by chance the weather that is also messing with them since it gets really cold and then hot all of the sudden?

Anything at all will help.

If blood is being drawn then it is serious. I would absolutely add more feeders and waterers and perhaps increase the amount of feed they're getting. Speaking of, what's their diet like (and how much proteinis in their feed) and how much space do they have in their coop and run?
