The ChickInn egg supply
Chirping
Hey everyone. My flock is in bad shape. Many of them have bald spots in their backs or near their vents that have dried blood due to pecking. I’ve seen them peck themselves and others. At first I thought just one chicken was bullying and pecking others but I’ve recently seen others deliberately pulling out feathers to eat. I’ve recently changed their feed to a cheaper alternative from a local mill and I suspect it may have lower protein than advertised. It was supposed to be about 17%. Their previous feed was 16%. I also offer oyster shells free choice and black soldier fly larvae. Any suggestions?
