Hi everyone,
I've posted a couple of times now about pecking issues in my small flock. I had two that I had to separate because they were pecked to the point of injury and found the two that were aggressive and separated them out as well. That leaves me with just 6 in the flock in the run and I just found them after the weekend (was gone on a trip), with bald rear ends and one of my larger birds pecking at them relentlessly. I caught her doing that yesterday, but I'm out of places to separate them into. I have tried using Pick No More but it doesn't seem to be helping. I have thought about getting a plastic mesh electric fence to make their run are several times bigger, don't know if that would help or not. My coop and run are quite large and more than enough square footage for all birds. I'm simply at a loss. I don't want any more to get injured. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
