how long to keep Fizz in the sin bin?

Recommended Posts

One of my newbies Fizz has so far pecked the other two new chooks' bum's bald. She pecks the feathers out then gobbles them up :shock: There has been bloodshed and scabs, and the anti-peck sprays have not stopped her. She is now in the sin bin dog crate and has been in there for two days, going in the garage at night. How long do i leave her for? Tonight after work the others FR'd round her and she was straining her neck trying to get a feather out of Smokeys bum! Will she know why she is in there? Will a sin bin stop her from pulling out feathers? Will this work? I feel guilty that she is in there but know that the other two have sore bums and are probably glad :twisted:

It will take her a while to get out of the habit. A couple of weeks at least in my experience.

 

It will give the victim a chance to recover, and the bully will lose her place in the pecking order, and with a bit of luck, will behave.

 

I'd let her free range on her own for a part of the day, so that she gets to stretch her legs.
