It might be easier to figure out why they're picking and correct it rather than dealing with the peepers.
Investigate things like space, feed, or lack of stimulation. A hanging cabbage or flock block might do wonders for the pecking problem. I hope you get it figured out!
I'm curious what that is growing in your run?? Trying to find a good alternative to dirt and pine shavings here in the wet PNW!I just ordered some & plan on using them only on the offending meanies. I'm hoping as they get all the same size that will fix the problem cause 3 Australorps are 5 weeks ahead of the other 2 BR & BOs. Keeping them separated has been a lot of extra work. I'm sure the Australorps are missing the nice run they shared with the rest.
Hi, Can you give me an update on your post? We are going to try these on three of our production reds that are bullying one of our other chickens, a black australorp. They pecked her head so bad that we had to keep her in isolation for 2 weeks while the wound healed.
Does the bullying pick back up again after they get used to the peepers?
Did you ever get the peepers?Thanks for your reply. My chickens have been pretty peaceful until now. They were all chicks together, too.
