Why do rooster's peck at the hens cones?
Pecking is often seen in chickens; the one doing the pecking is saying "I'm the boss over you"; every chicken flock will have an established "pecking order" with the strongest that the top and the weakest at the bottom.
Should you use bits on your chickens to stop them pecking?
I Personally do not think you should, but if the pecking is a very large problem, that draws blood or that is preventing you from caring for them, you can get ones that stop them pecking people and still let them eat :)
Is it bad if your small hen is pecking your small rooster?
yes- very bad. Chickens peck at any spot of blood on another chicken and can not stop. They make the injury bigger and deeper by the day and more prone to infections. There's a product you can buy to stop the pecking- it's called blue kote. Wash the injury if needed and spray on the blue kote until the pecking stops. If there's no injury, you can use vicks vapor rub. Chickens don't like the taste of it. But don't put it on an open sore.
Is there anything that you can put on your chickens to stop them from pecking the bare spots of the other birds please help?
Not that I know of, but you can get an ointment from the feed store called Rooster Booster or Stop Bite. After rinsing the blood off of the chicken you dab this ointment on the area and it promotes healing, causes the area to numb and keeps others from pecking it. This saved the lives of several of the birds in my flock.
Why are the chickens pecking each others bottom and how to stop it?
Because they are molting or they are at the bottom of the pecking order and I would take them out of the flock but then after they return the flock will treat it badly and the pecking order will change and it might be messy.
