Can you guys peek at this? Are the new SS hens picking on my light Brahma?

 

[SunnyDawn]

Somebody is! Poor little thing!

 

[dldolan]

aha! When I went out this morning I found the two SS surrounding this light brahma as she tried to lay her egg! ARGH! don't know if this is the gang-up method, and they just were harassing, or all hens are now fighting over the same one laying (apple) basket. Silly birds...

She needs a nice purple 'scarf' of blukote... then she'll be the envy of the flock

We adopted a hen with naked elbows from too much roo attention...our hens thought it was fun to peck; with Blukote they stopped & now we can't tell she ever had a problem.
Good luck

I need to get some Blukote too. My poor EE teenagers are getting their fluffy cheeks pulled out! 1 poor little girl has had 15% of her feathers pecked off! I had to put them back in the grow out pen. Couldn't stand the poor things getting pecked at so much!

Thanks, Sunny and Laurie! I got something at the feed store up here which is similar to BlueKote, and It seems to be working. Yippee!

On a happy note, I had to work barrel tasting today and came home to this amazing sight, pulled from the one laying basket that ALL the girls have to use! *amazing as I only have 7 hens-a-laying!*

DH must have missed some last night, or some girls are doing double duty!!
