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

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.

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?

I think so too. But if not come back on here and we'll help I'm sure. Good luck
