alih Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I have just acquired 2 new beauties who are in the eglu/ run whilst my 2 big girls sleep in the rabbit hutch and free range. So far so good - some curiosity but no viciousness through the bars! I will take it all very slowly as the newbies are quite a bit younger, but wanted to get some emergency provisions in just in case...where can i find the gentian violet spray/ bumper bits/ ukadex? Thanks in advance for what I know will be sound advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 You can get Gentian Violet Spray and Bumper Bits from **Wernlas Collection** and Ukadex from **Regency Poultry** (They call it anti peck spray on the website). Give them a ring. They are very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hello Alih! Bumper bits Gentian violet is available from horse tack shops, also known as purple spray. The domestic fowl trust sells ukadek I believe but have not used it myself. The Bumper bits should do the trick though! Good luck with your newbies edited to add - Egluntine can type faster than me!

Keanie Bean Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Be a bit wary of the Anti Peck Spray. I used it on my chickens and they just got even balder. Give a tea tree oil spray a go insted. sarah.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alih Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 thanks guys - it is all quiet on the chicken front - I have read and reread all the helpful threads about intros and am taking nothing for granted, but so far there is no more than curiosity - but it's funny looking at my bossy big girls compared to the new ones - a bit like watchinga toddler and remembering what she was like as a newborn! How did they get so bold?! will get the bits and purple spray in just in case.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
