freaky chick Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 i think what you have to do is to get a ceramic egg and put it in the nestbox. when she trys to peck it she won't get anything and it will be like pecking a wall - not too plesant!!! good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 witness on of my hens doing that this afternoon. I replaced it with Anna (5) toy egg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Thanks folks will suggest to my friend. Another friend has a feather pecker - suggested water psitol as suggested on here. Shes tried malt viengar inthe water as it makes their feathers taste odd and the spray to no avail. She is probably sitting with her morning tea squriting away as we speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickyhazel Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Try different brands of spray as they taste different, and some work better than others. Switch regularly so the hen doesn't get used to a particular brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
