Eggasperated Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Further to my problems of feather plucking and diagnosis of lice and subsequent treatment I am still having a problem with feather plucking. Carol has grown back a lot of her bottom and back feathers but her tail still has lots of odd feathers waving about so doesn't look quite right, I have managed to get all the chickens back together and am using bumper bits and anti peck spray, however I'm still getting problems with the other two managing to pull out feathers even with the bumper bits on. I noticed Pippa was the prime culprit so I've isolated her but now Alice is pecking at Carol and pulling feathers out of her. What is the answer? I don't really want Carol to be on her own again as I can't see that solving anything. Theyv'e got loads of things to do with logs, dustbath, hanging vegetables and different areas of the run to scatch about in. Will things ever get back to normal?

Ness3103 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 i've got the same problem all of mine are plucking each other so can't separate them. the bumper bits work most of the time but i have seen them manage to get the odd feather. i'm hoping someone will come along soon with a solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
