    Wing Pecked Chicks?

    Anyone have any wing pecked chicks? Was just wondering what I need to do to deter this. I am hoping the large playpen will be enough to deter further the pecking. They pecked in the small bins at TSC. At $1 each I figured they would be worth a try. They were golden comets and maybe red sex...

    For those that use the conibear traps I was wondering if you secure them. It is enough to just put the ring from the chain on a wooden stake,or do you need to attach it to something with a lock? I am thinking if it goes off on a foot or tail the animal will run off with the trap instead of...
