    I think I found a miracle cure for feather picking

    Thanks for the advice. I'll keep up the training. It's so frustrating. I put her back in and she was instantly back at the pecking feathers business. She got to where she knew she was gonna get poked, so she would pick and run like the wind. Then a couple of them were chest bumping. Makes me...

    I think I found a miracle cure for feather picking

    @azygous was she picking her own feathers, or the other chick's feathers? Mine is picking at the other ones, so I don't know if this would work or not? TIA

    Anyone know what this is and if it is poisonous to chickens? This stuff has taken over our lawn, so there's not much grass :(

    My chicks are about 5 days old. All are acting normal, but one is having runny poop.

It's kind of...
