Sue Dunlop Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 What are 'bumpa bits' please. I have three rescue hens (a month ago) and one original hen. My original girl is much bigger than the new girls.She will peck if they try to the food first, but not aggressively. The three new ones all arrived with bare bottoms, but slowly two of them are sprouting feathers. One though is constantly being pecked at and has a red raw bottom and vent. I have read about purple sprays and then putting on a bumpa bit, but cannot find out more. Any advice welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Bumpa bits are plastic beak guards, preventing the hen to fully close the beak. Means they can’t peck anymore. You can find them here: https://www.claretaylor.com/product-page/bumpa-bits Claire also has very useful instruction videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
