quickcluck Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) DH's ED has been chicken sitting for us, and doing a not so bad job, but have come home and 4 chooks have NO tails nothing she can do about that, but I'm a bit distraught! We don't know who the culprits are as the main one we've discovered also has a bald side! I think i've no choice but to put bits on them all How long does it take to grow a tail feather back??? We are feeling bad....... Edited October 1, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 About a month or so. Don't feel bad it could just be the moult but does sound like pecking. I'd give them a supplement in the water like Lifeguard to help them along and hang up some greens for them to peck and let them out when you are around. I'd try Ukadex or similar before bits You are going to have to post a picture of the little madams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Thanks Plum, Will get pics if I can poor things, I usually hang stuff in the afternoon, which they haven't had, so that could be the problem........... Have some nettex tonic to try so will do that for a week, am about to scrounge many stamps to send off to the Wernlas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
