My hens look terrible! The constantly peck out each others feathers. I have Buff Orphingtons but now one looks like a naked neck
I've tried vinegar in the water to no avail. They have plenty of room to roost, lay and play. I've heard this is a form of cannibalism and I should eat them but I'm not ready just yet. I have 27 new chicks and need to wait until they start laying. I also heard putting powder on the areas being pecked would instantly cure this. I just dusted them tonight, which they were very unhappy with; we'll see what happens. Any other suggestions? I'm willing to try just about anything.
