Vixie24 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I'm in desperate need of some advice. I currently have three rescue warren hens with a firm pecking order. The lowest hen (Bottom) I've had to buy a separate eglu and run as someone was pulling out her new feathers so after 4 months she was still featherless on her back and bum and her egg shells were paper thin they'd always break and get eaten. I wanted her on her own to give her feathers a chance to grow though and to giver her some extra vitamins to help her eggs. She's been on her own for a week now and her feathers are coming on great, theres not much change in her eggs yet. I'm giving her a does of Equimins Egg Shell Imporver and Nettex Tonic every day The next problem I'm facing is that the top chicken (Dotty) is now picking on the other one she's left with (Izzy). She's been pulling her feathers out and now her eggs shells are shocking just like Bottoms. Is the problem my top chicken Dotty? Is she just a bully causing all this stress? I'm really stuck and desperately need this sorted, I can't go on cleaning them all out every day and stressing myself out over them. I'm also having to buy eggs now as one a day from three hens is really not enough. Also my hubbies lossing his patients with them. Please help......

Egluntyne Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 It might be worth separating the bully rather than the bullied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
