Hello
I am new and am sure that you have probably answered this many times. We have 30 chicks (brown egg layers) and they have started pecking each other. We move them outside during the day and inside at night. When can they stay outside all the time? What can we do to keep them from creating the nasty wounds? We separated one today that they pecked all the tail feathers off of and it is a bloody mess. There are about 5 others with various peck wounds on their wings and tail and backs. Any advice would be appreciated.
