art12345 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi ive been having some plucking problems and have tried antipeck spray with no success. Ive now covered my beardless silkie with stockhlm tar(blimey that stuff is disgusting) and im considering changing their diet. So Can i change to it overnight or do i need to do it gradually? Has anyone had much success in this stopping feather pecking? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I would say you can change from pellets to mash overnight. The other way around takes longer. In theory, it takes them longer to fill up on mash, so pecking should be reduced. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I did it overnight and it worked for a while. But the pecking has now started again (maybe 3 weeks later?) but I don't think it's as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
