I had a chicken that I am pretty sure that she had Mareks Disease. She was completely paralyzed and we had to kull her. I since have had 2 other chickens die with no symptoms. I went out the coop one morning (on 2 different occassions) and found them dead with no symptoms. This is all in...
I have thought about trying the pinless peepers but it seems like a pain to have to put these on. Do you really need the special pliers and from what I see on line you need to by them by the 100s. Seems kind of pricey?? But is it worth is?
Thanks for checking in! I appreciate everyones advice!! I applied BlueKote a few days ago and it seems to be helping the pecking on the 2 hens that were being pecked and are still in the coop! No sign of any new pecking happening to them. Fingers crossed that it keeps up. It is lightening...
Upsetting for sure.... Ugh! Today they are on to a 3rd victim. I put BluKote on the 2 that are still in the coop. There is deffinetly more than 1 hen doing the pecking. At least 3 of them had purple beaks after I applied the BluKote. Do I remove all of them and put them in "chicken jail"...
Thanks for being encouraging!! It breaks my heart to see my Buff so torn up. Her sweet personality hasn't been changed at all. She spent most of the day in the yard free ranging while the others where in the run. She then returned to the crate on her own this afternoon. I am thinking about...
I have 11 and 6 of them do not have any pecked feathers. The other 5 have been pecked at, some worse then others. I will watch for to see who the most aggesive is then move her/them out to the crate in the garage but first I need to get my Buff healed. He wounds are pretty big and deep. Will...
I have tried to watch them. I don't see it happening! It is SO frustrating. I see the occasional peck but nothing that would cause what happened tonight. I guess I need to spend a lot more time out there with them to try to determine who they are.
Help! I am new to chicken raising and I am not sure what to do. I have 11 girls and I have a pecking probem going on in my coop!! I don't know who is the ringleader. My smallest Ameraucana girl has been harrassed for a while. She has been missing feathers on her back and tail but never had...
