Peck marks on comb

[Laura516]

Hi! So my chickens definitely have started bullying each other. I think their space was too small so I did finally prepare a much larger space in them. One chicken in particular is clearly getting a lot of pecking on the comb. With the new space and some new things to interest them will this work itself out or do I need to take some other measures? Thanks

How big is their new space? Pictures of both, and the hurt chicken?

Okay my phone is being very weird. Hopefully this posts the pictures okay. Thee added space is all the area from that run/blue coop to the fencing right where I am taking the picture. I am working on adding some stumps and other elements but at least they can run in it all day for now.

She has a few minor scabs.
The pecking may be occurring during roosting.

Nice run space

I think it may be too... I'll look and see if there is any way I can reconfigure their roosts. DO you suggest putting anything on it or just keeping an eye on it and see if it alleviates with the new spacing? And thanks so much!!! I am so happy to have a nicer space for them : )! My husband did a great job on the space! Now I'm hoping to add a few elements in the space to keep them a little more occupied!

If I see any open wounds on my chickens, I bring the chicken in and stop the bleeding with a cotton ball, then spray some vetericin on it.

Usually I don't put anything on. Sounds mean, but generally the combs heal pretty quickly and anything you put on them just draws attention.
