Sue and the Spice Girls Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi everyone, If you've got a pecking problem and put the bumper bits on....how long do you have to leave them or is it a permanent thing? Do the girls stop and when do you remove the bumper bits? It's my cockeral who's being pecked as he gets a bit too enthusiastic and his wattles are bleeding.

Egluntyne Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'd leave them till they fall off. On the other hand, if he is hurting the hens, perhaps they shouldn't be prevented from showing their annoyance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue and the Spice Girls Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Do they just fall off after a bit then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Generally, yes, as they wear out. You can remove them before they get to this stage if you wish, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
