JohnP Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I've got four chickens, and have at least 2 feather pullers. I now have all the birds with bumper bits, but they're not that good in my experience - they seem to work for about a week and then they start to bite through the bit! After 2-3 weeks, feathers definitely start to go missing again. Is this par for the course with these bits? I'd not gathered that I'd need to replace them quite that fast! Would it be worth trying anti-peck spray? I've seen some people swear by Ukadex, and others swear at it. Can I order this on the net somewhere? My poor girls have had bare bums and backs for ages now and I'd love them to refeather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 You can get Ukadex **here** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 I had a look and saw an anti-peck spray in their catalogue. Is this Ukadex? It doesn't seem to be listed anywhere by name. Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Yes it is. Give them a ring...they are very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Many thanks. But yikes - £7.95 for the spray and another £6.75 for p&p! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 They hate the taste of Tee Tree oil. Try your local equestrian shop, they may stock Tee Tree Spray. I paid £3.95 for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
