lozza_9 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi We have just started to have both sets of chickens out together. The Ex-Batts seem to be bullying my other chickens. Just wondering if this is normal. At present the ex-batts are holding onto the other chickens feathers and sometimes standing on top of them. The other chickens are staying away from ex- batts At present we are just letting them get on with it. Is this normal Lorraine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Yes it is normal so dont worry too much. I know its hard but it is only natural as the new pecking order is established. Keep a close eye on things and try and make sure it doesnt get too out of hand. If blood is drawn then you may have to fit anti-peck rings or bumper bits to prevent more damage.

Egluntyne Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 On a sunny day like this, a blast with a hose pipe to stop them won't do them any harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
