Eglu Go With 2m Run For Sale

Madonna, my beautiful white Polish bantam has taken to snacking off her two frizzle Polish bantam sisters, Shirley Bassey and Sandy Shaw. They are looking a bit de-nuded in parts....

 

I've tried Johnson's anti-peck spray but am not convinced it works. I saw her having a nibble this evening. So I am contemplating the dreaded Ukadex but I know it stinks. So do I - or don't 1??? Bumpa bits not an option because they are so tiny..

Just bumping this up hoping this will prompt some advice. Thanks!

Johnson's didn't work for me but smelly Ukadex did.

 

The other downside was the colour, my Light Sussex weren't any more!

 

Good luck x

Thanks Lucy - I think brown is preferable to pink skin!

Yes it worked for us.

 

Advise to use in a well ventilated area and wear some clothes that you may never wear again!

[jomeena]

Yes it works,

smells like death and my light sussex was brown. But she has grown new feathers and the smell did wear off. Confused my neighbours they thought there was a drain problem.

Thanks ! I've just found an old threat that is recommending where to buy it - so am going to try it - before they are bald!

Try it by all means, but please dont take the 'smelly' warnings lightly, it seriously STINKS DONT wear anything you might want to wear again and DEFINATELY wear gloves!!!

And im glad you know about it turning the chooks brown, i didnt when i used it and got the shock of my life when my beautiful white silkie turned yukky brown, i was devastated!

I thought the mandatory get up was marigolds ( pink) and nothing else - at all!

i am using it i find it works for 2 to 3 days then daisy will starting pecking pip again so i spray her again it makes me feel sick i swear its still up my nose the rest of the week

[Patricia W]

I think someone told me it takes about 5 days to wear off. Let us know how you get on

It is effective, but awful. What hadn't occurred to me was that by spraying their bald botties, the nesting box and hence the eggs would also smell awful however I can say that surprisingly, it doesn't taint the eggs and the smell wears off. Wear disposable gloves, I used my gardening ones and every time I used them after that I could smell it, not to mention that the smell transferred to everything I touched with them.

That's why I tried Johnson's first - but it's not working. So this is the last resort..
