I know that chicks peck at the color red... The reason I know this? Because I have a full sleeve tattoo and I have one little chick who diligently pecks my arm everytime I hold him/her or even if I have my hand in the brooder.
Is there a way I can correct this unwanted behavior? Or am I going to have to wear long sleeves everytime I come near it?
Here is a pic where you can see the red all around my wrist and forearm...
Right now its just a bit annoying, but I know as the chick gets bigger, the pecks can become painful...
