Goats and chickens are an important source of protein for humans. Humans are omnivores and the majority of us enjoy eating meat. Some of us live a Vegan/Vegetarian and even Macrobiotic lifestyle for various reasons, one of them being the sadness about killing an animal for its meat, however the vast majority will still eat meat no matter what we do. It is noble of you to want to save these animals but there are some missions in life that far beyond our capabilities. Ref: Don Quixote and Tilting at Windmills
If the killing of these animals bothers you, it is OK for you to not eat the meat from them and do your part, however small, in reducing the numbers needed to fill the needs of the meat shops.

Reduce the rooster population by one. Your hen to cockerel ratio is too large and your hens are being mounted by both roosters during the day. Each time a rooster mates with a hen she will lose or damage feathers. Hens doing double duty are losing them at twice the normal rate and are being given no time for recovery.

Have had a number of hens being killed by the others A couple every few weeks we pasture them and use large mobile yards so I don't think it is space could the weak broody hens be the victims?
Well, I guess they could. I mean if they are pecking at each others behinds then that is something called molting. It is a seasonal thing. another view The most likely place the the hens are being attacked is where they roost and that still could be an overcrowding problem. Ideally you want at least 18 inches of space per bird on the roosting bar. The broody hens are often the aggressors and will defend the nest vigorously. Check how much light gets into the coop at night, as just a little light when they are roosting will cause picking thereby weakening the victim and then the other hens will continue to harass that bird all day further weakening and killing the hen.
