The 3 D's Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi I have order some Anti-Pecking Bits and i just wanted to ask a few questions. Firstly can to chooks be able to eat with it on them, does it hurt them and is it easy to put it on them. Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi Matt Yes chooks can eat perfectly well with them on, no its doesnt hurt them (they sit in the nostrils which have no nerves) As for easy to put on - hmmm !! depends on how dociile your chook is!! Best to put them on first time after they have gone to roost when they are more dozey and all the better if you have someone to help you - if you can get someone to hold the chook then it's easier as you have two hands free to insert the anti peck bits into the nostrils. -also a tip is to warm the bits in hot water first - makes them a bit easier to bend. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 sorry to be thick but what are these? and when would you need them? Look **here** Under "Bumpa Bits" They are used to stop feather pecking and vicious pecking in general. You might never need them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
