I had a GLW do that to an EE so like you I added BOSS to their diet and other protein treats. I also provided them with activities like a flock block, cabbage tether ball and put in an old tree stump,after doing all this the feather picking quit. Best of luck

You can use blu kote on the injury that way the others won't see pink and be tempted to peck at it more

Thank you!!!

I have a 7 month old NN pullet who was inside due getting dusted for mites/lice,I dusted her sat her down washed my hands then turned around to give my 8 year old daughter her antibiotic which is 250 mg of Amoxicillin needless to say I dropped the pill and the NN grabbed it and ate it before I...

exactly mine will pace peck and make a ruckus if there is someone who is taking their time laying like I said they have 10 boxes all identical but they prefer the one.

What does the chick's poop look like? Is it normal runny green orange? I noticed you put it on cocci treatment that is the reason I ask. Is the chick panting or labored when breathing? Is the chick the same size as the others or is s/he smaller? I am trying to figure out in order to lead you to...

I own 3 silkies myself and they all prefer 'the silkie pile" but every now and then I do catch them on the lower roost , and as far as trimming around her eyes that should be fine. I am guilty of putting up my polish gal's crest in a pony tail holder just so they are able to see what is in front...

SO glad she decided to return back home.
