quirkas Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I hope that someone can answer this. Had the familiar tale of feather pecking so have had the white ciecular bits fitted to two girls. Apparently these fall out in time but mine are sit very much still attached and their beaks seem to be growing so they now join at the tip rendering them useless anyway, I also hate using them. Anyway do I remove them now or wait and how easy is it to remove them? Quirkas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I have found that they generally fall off after about 3 months. If the feather pulling has stopped, you could try removing them and see if they behave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophelia Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I used bumper bits on two of my hens. One fell off after 2 months so I took the other hen's bit. Wearing them for two months sorted out their bad behaviour and now they all get on fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRC99 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 They are very easy to remove. Easier than putting them in, that's for sure! I took Rosie's out the other day after a good 2-3 months and, touch wood, she's been well behaved since. You can always put it back in.
