chocolatedog Posted Sunday at 12:58 AM Share Posted Sunday at 12:58 AM Hi - long time since I’ve posted here! I have a problem - a few days ago I found my White Sussex girlie covered in blood and wounds on her comb so I brought her in and kept her away from the others until she’d healed up. I need to put her back out with the others but the problem is that the anti pecking spray says do not spray on feathers or head 🤔How can I then stop the other chicken from pecking at her?

Beantree Posted Sunday at 10:45 AM Share Posted Sunday at 10:45 AM I don't think the anti-peck spray would work anyway? If she has been isolated they may well attack her as an intruder, with or without spray on her? The head isn't sprayed because of the danger of it getting into her eyes, but why it isn't sprayed on the feathers I don't know because where do you spray it then? We've never had much success with anti-pecking sprays. We found that the victim needs to have it re-applied daily or it doesn't work and then the poor girl can't preen herself because of the terrible taste. I suggest you look at beak bits for the others, particularly the one who attacked her. If you don't know who that is you will have to introduce her and watch carefully, being ready to take her out again immediately. How much space have they got, because too little will quickly lead to aggressive behaviour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
