KimmyCustard Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Marge had her bumper bit fitted on Monday, she was very cross but I didnt take it off and she has learnt to eat and drink with it on. Next question is: do I treat Pixie and Bertha for bum baldness? Their skin is a little red after the pecking, is there anything I can rub on their bald patches to help stimulate new growth and to protect any temptation of feather pecking by the others? Do I feed them anything extra to help with feather growth, I've given them poultry tonic in their water and I cant find anything when searching specific to replacing feathers after pecking Thank you for your sound advice so far.........

Plum Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I've seen advice about giving extra protien when moulting and my Pigeon refeathered better last moult when she had Lifeguard rather than poultryspice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I've used that too and found it to be good. If they have sore looking skin, then apply some of the Johnson's tea tree cream, you can get it from most pet stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 nappy cream (such as Sudocrem) is fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
