foreveryoung Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 tee tree oil sprayed over nibbly chickens feathers stop them nibbling? all of their feathers seem to have their ends nibbled off, their wings (mostly flight feather parts) are down to the feather steam (donno its actual name) Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I've just fitted Liz with a antipecking ring becos she was pulling out the other girls' feathers. Its great. It went on really easily (does need two of you - one to hold the chook) but it has stopped her immediately (she can't get her top and bottom beaks together) but hasn't stopped her eating or drinking or picked stuff off the ground etc. - it seems to have had no other effect on her apart from stopping the feather pecking!

Mel (& Paul) Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Tea Tree oil is a good start as it is natural - otherwise anti-peck spray or purple spray - failing that bumper bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 yeah we've used the bumper bits both the black ones and the white ones and it didnt seem to work! (maybe I could it was put on the wrong bird!?) i thought maybe tackling it via a spray?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
