My chickens wont stop pecking each other!!!! :/

[ILoveChickensAWholeLot]

Ok, third post of the hour!

One of my chickens is being abused by their fellow chickens in her coop. I'm not quite sure if it's worse or better than it was but any help is much appreciated. She used to have a ring of feathers missing around her neck, unfortunately, I didn't think to take a picture. Now she has a hole in the back of her neck (not a real hole!!) of missing feathers. I'm really worried she might get pecked at to death but I'm not sure if this is the other chickens way of saying they're starting to leave her alone or trying to kill her. Any ideas on how to stop it? I looked further at her feathers on her neck by lifting them a bit and they seem damaged (compared to the other chickens) at the root too, not just the top layers. The pictures are not very good and don't really show much but they don't like to hold still.

(here are some photos hopefully it's obvious which one I'm talking about because I don't know how to specify )

How old are they?
Is it bleeding?

they are 37 weeks old and I do not believe it is bleeding. Any ideas on how to stop the pecking?

How much space do they have? Chickens behave like this in tight quarters.

Do your chickens get bored...if so you can try putting in some toys or try to keep them busy.

I don't know the exact dimensions but they should have plenty of room, this seems to be more of a new thing. I thought it had something to do with winter.

Hi there. How many chickens do you have? How big is their coop? How big is the run?

Ive tried giving them some cabbage on a string, that seemed to stop it for a while but I don't have an endless supply of cabbage and was trying to think of other things.

Make sure they have atleast 2 square feet of sleeping room... and more for the run space so they can roam a little

You can use a xylophone
or even just food scraps (That are not moldy or made of flour)
