Deodorant...

 

It worked a treat for me when I introduced new hens

 

They don't sound bored or hungry so I think she is just being a bit of bully but I'm just guessing!

 

I used my Dads RightGuard and that worked well...you just spray it on the pecked areas on each hen and even though the bully still pecks for a little she soon gets a horrible taste and stops BUT you will need to administer it about 4 times a day!

oh, I like the deodorant idea!

 

If the bullying is persistent, then bumper bits will work - but as I have found, it's hard to know who is the bully! I fitted one on the hen that I was sure was the pecker, only to discover poor old Hilda is still getting bald bits, I'm going to have to fit one on the other likely culprit. It's hard the first time, but worth doing as it stops the problem immediately and unlike sprays, you don't need to keep doing it.
