Wanted - Eglu Cube Mk1 Roosting Bars

[DanielSELondon]

Hello all,

 

I am trying to sort out some very bad pecking problems between two old hens and one of my two new(ish) hens. We have introduced them very slowly and have only put them together after four weeks of free ranging. The new hen is really getting a hard time - very few feathers left on head or neck.

 

I have tried anti-peck spray which doesn't seem to help, have sprayed the effected area (and my hand and face!) with purple spray... Now I am looking at buying some bumper bits - so am about to send a SAE off for them but wondered if anyone in SE London had any as the new ones won't arrive until at least Tuesday?

 

I wait hopefully! Cheers, Daniel

Hi,

Thanks!

Sorry i can't help.

But what i found that helped was when you saw feather pecking being done, hold down the bird that did it (not too hard!) for 10 secands, then she will back off, and get the picture that its bad, (and sometimes used when others bully the newbies.. putting her down the pecking order)
