hopingforchickens Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'm having (another) pecking problem with my girls and want to get bumpa bits, which worked really well last time. I have two bandstand now, a silke and a Marian, will bumpas fit them, are there small sizes? Thanks for any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think there's another post on here about this subject and it said normal bumpa bits will fit. What's a bandstand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I suspect it's a 'spelling autocorrection' error on the PC or Mac Chickabee. Ours is driving me mad at the moment. We have Leghorn bantams and the 25mm beak bits are far too large for them. But we had a small Cream Legbar and they fitted her fine. You won't know until you get one and compare it to the size of their beaks. You don't want them flapping about as it will put a lot of strain on the nostrils.

Bandstand was my second attempt to change autocorrect!!! I have ordered enough for everyone so I will see when they arrive. Thanks for the advice.

mimi5 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I have pekin bantams and was told by omlet (Quin ) that there aren't bumpa bits small enough and the regular small ones are too big for them Luvachicken kindly sent me some nose bits, which I tried to fit to my bully......I couldn't seem to get it on both nostrils, she got distressed and so did I so i gave up. I was also worried that as she couldn't close her beak by a long way, eating would be difficult??? Please let us know how you go My bully has gone beck to the classic on her own, again!!! She free ranges with the others but does the feather plucking in the coop at night, aggrrrrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
