To stop chickens from pecking each other, first make sure they have enough space to move around and access to food and water. Add environmental enrichments such as perches, nesting boxes, and dust baths to keep them occupied. If one chicken is being aggressive, separate it from the flock for a short period. You can also use anti-pecking products such as pinless peepers, which limit a chicken’s vision and reduce aggressive behavior. Finally, make sure the birds are properly fed and receive a balanced diet, as malnutrition can cause pecking.
