jomeena Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) Hello all. Tom suggested i contact you guys. He has been trying to help me with a hyperactive chicken who is now in solitary after biting her coop mates. I can not let my chickens freerange for more than a couple of hours a day as i have to be with them. ( foxes ). Now sadley i need to find Ethel, a lovely Bovan Nera a new home. She is only 25wks old and a very good layer, friendly to humans although bossy. Can anyone help ? We live in southfields, london. I do not have transport so anyone who can give her a home whould have to collect. Regards to all a very sad jomeena Very glad to say Ethel now has a new home and i was told a nice boyfriend too. Regards a much happier jomeena Edited August 20, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Sorry to hear it. Are you absolutely sure that you want to rehome her? I have moved this to the Chicken section rather than to the Free to a Good Home for the time being. Have you considered putting a bumperbit on her? Or spraying the victims with antipeck spray? Separating her is a good idea......and after a week or so, and with a bumper bit on, she will have lost her dominant position in the flock.

Redwing Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I agree with Egluntine, don't rehome her yet, she is only young so will learn not to peck. A bumper bit and separation is a good idea, I can send you a bumper bit if you would like to try it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I think so too. But if not come back on here and we'll help I'm sure. Good luck Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
