Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

You can also add "chicken toys," which will defuse boredom issues that lead to feather plucking in addition to other evils. Toys can be simple like a small colored ball they can push around. A head of cabbage hanging just high enough where the flock has to jump up to eat some.

Safe Parrot toys with bells they can ring(and won't come off) . Wooden blocks they can climb up on, a dog type Kong toy - that you pack with safe treats .Birds have to work at getting a taste. Loafing around won't get them anywhere.

Long, boxes with open sides they can go through or hide in. Some chickens even learn
to use a small swing, and figure out how to keep it swinging.

They can be so much more than egg layers- they can develop their brain function and maybe find more enjoyable pastimes than pecking a roost mate bald. Too much working of their brains may lead to mutiny but, I doubt it will be an over night happening.

HI I was reading your post and I had posted the other day that all my chicken's have bare butts, their feathers are all missing around their rear ends and I wasn't sure what was going on, someone suggested they might be bored , so thanks for the good info
