I'm new to backyard chickens and hoping to get some expert advice from veteran chicken owners. I have 3 Amberlinks and 1 of them is pecking feathers out of the other two. Their bums are naked. I've been trying to figure out what the heck is going on with them. I was cleaning their coop and watched them for a while and saw one of them pecking feathers from the other two. The "pecker" is the only one with plumage on her butt so now all the pieces are falling into place. She is the culprit. What should I do next? It seems that when the other two have feathers finally growing in, they get pecked again. At least now I know the problem but not sure how to solve it. Thanks for any advice in advance.
