Bullying Chicken

[spaule353]

Hi friends,

I have one black giant (Ernestine) she is jumping on one of my eggers (Freckles) backs and pecking her comb. Freckles has a comb that is short and fat, looks kinda fun. But I don't know how to go about this? Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

That's cannibalism. Just buy some "peck no more" and put it on Freckles' comb. Or you could isolate Ernestine. Also you could isolate Freckles and give her electrolyte water. If you don't have any here is a recipe.
1/3 of a teaspoon salt substitute ( potassium chloride )
1/2 teaspoon baking soda ( sodium bicarbonate)
1 teaspoon table salt (sodium chloride)
2 quarts water
Use this solution in place of drinking water for 1 week, offering fresh water for the remainder of each day.
