beccauk Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hi I have chickens and they keep pecking feathers from each others bums so there bald I have tried anti pecking sprays and other things advised which didn't work also beak bits , wonder if anyone has tried these glasses you can get or if anyone has tried something for feather pecking and had more success . I found because there only skin where the feathers have been pecked nothing stays. Any advise would be great my chickens are looking pretty ugly with blade spots never seen anyone else's chickens like this there always fluffy Many thanks becca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Have your tried the spray that stains the skin purple so they are No longer attracted to the pink/red skin. Mine did it for a week or so but regular spaying of anti-peck stopped mine, I did spray them morning and evening. I guess you have tried distractions too?

beccauk Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 The purple spray doesn't stay on there skin just stays on the feathers but there isn't any. I make my own pecking blocks and when have chance going to post my photos of stages when making them if anyone wants to try and hang a couple in there also make scrating trays from seed trays with no holes with bark chips and put mixed corn and raisins in there. Even tried vicks on the area and sudacream Tomorrow I'm going to hang some clear tubs that I get meal worm in and drill some 2 pence ish size holes and put raisins in for the chickens to try get out Anyone else make food puzzle feeders? Would like any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
