hey guys,
long time lurker. first post.
I've got a problem with 1 of my RIR's. She is pecking another bird at the base of her tail and has created quite a wound on the poor thing. What should I do? It seems to happen in the morning before I let them out of their coop. Am I making a mistake by not giving them access to their run at all times? I let them free range during the day but at night they go up in a chick n hutch. There's only 3 birds but maybe their cramped or hungry in the morning? I'm a city boy trying to learn some basic skills and could use any help you guys can offer. Should I quarantine her? If so, which one? The pecker or the peckee? thanks guys.
