Battling hens!

[andreanar]

I bet it has something to do with Henn changing her actions due to molting. Mine always go after a broody hen cause shes acting different.

Ok, someone said I should try blinders

as an experiment. I bought some via Amazon. Arrived today loose in the bag. No instructions. Now what? I am going to wait a bit longer before reintroducing the meanies. These will be if yhe separation didn't work.

Intro Petra by herself first.

Peepers! Instructions are simple.
1: Get a helper
2:Get a mug of hot water
3: Put peepers in the mug of hot water
4:Grab your bully
5:Get your peepers from the mug
6: Open the peepers, fit the little nubs inside of the bullies nostrils and you're done.

Right into the nostrils? Won't this hinder breathing? How long can they wear them? Do I need special pliers like I've seen sold in some kits?

 

[Chickassan]

Yep, right into the nostrils. They won't hider breathing unless the bird has a deformity. And yeah you should have pliers but like yourself when they sent my peeper kit they left out the kit part and just sent peepers. I figured out the hot water softens the plastic enough to where you don't need them.

Thank you.
The plan is...picking up a small coop Tuesday from @Brahma Chicken5000. Hoping to install it by Thanksgiving. Moving Petra in so she is seen but separate for her reintroduction. I work this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so I dont want to let her integrate until I can observe. Howerver hubby has Sunday off so I may let him have a go at that Sunday. If there is still a problem the peepers get in place Monday. Meanwhile fraggle will be taking the small coop for a bit and follow the same routine. This alll hinges on me getting the coop assembled in time.

 

[Chickassan]

Well I hope it works out and you don't have to peeper anybody, they really don't like it much.
