In my experience the chicken saddles have not worked. I talked to a helpful worker at Tractor Supply, and he said that the best thing to do is to separate them, but if you cannot do that the second best thing is to use the pine tar. He also told me that it will not be poisonous to the chickens...

Here is the pine tar made specifically for animals...

Pine tar can saying poisionous: http://www.valleyvet.com/zoomimage.html?img=swatches/12061_L_vvs_000.jpg Also, does the "Pick No More" work? Have you had good experiences with it?

I am still concerned about the can saying that it is poisonous if swallowed. I read somewhere that you need to get pine tar made especially for animals. Does this exist?

No, what you do with the pine tar, is you put it on the affected areas and when other chickens peck at it the taste will be so bad they will not peck any more. This will allow the wound to heal.

In my experience, chicken aprons have not worked. I read that pine tar works but when I went to the store to buy it, I noticed the can said "WARNING: CAN BE DEADLY IF SWALLOWED".

One of my hens has a large scab on her back. It happened because of my roosters' aggressive mating. I have removed my roosters and the wound is still not healing... even after one year! I tried Neosporin, and the feathers would begin to grow out, and then they would vanish. I think one of my...

Best of luck with your chickens back, Haunted55. Thank you for the help. More info. is appreciated.

I used to have two roosters with my seven chickens until I got rid of them. It has been four months since I got rid of the roosters, but the chicken's backs are still feather-less and scabbed. Will the feathers ever grow back? When? What can I do? Thank you for your help.

About one month and one week ago I found a shell-less egg in my nesting box. It had no inner/outer membrane, only a yolk and a white. At first I though that one of my chickens just cracked the egg, but no shell was in sight. Three weeks from now, it happened again. I had also been noticing...

They are one year old. I got them from Farm and Fleet. Never wormed them. Ocasionally they will sneeze (not frequently). No it did not look like the picture, the embryo was white stomach shaped, semi-transparent, about half the size of an egg, and white.

What does this have to do with chickens?!?!?

With my batch of nine chickens of supposed to be hens, I got two Buff Orpington roosters that are now causing harm to my hens with breeding. I would like to get rid of these roosters to a good home who will not butcher them. They are both beautiful and healthy. Thank you.

this is very true in my case

This looks exactly like my chicken named perl

I've heard both, from numerous people... I'm not sure what to believe

If possible I don't want to get rid of any chickens
