EMERGENCY!!! NEED HELP NOW!!!

Two chickens. Okay. Let's try to work with that.

One way to distract a chicken preying on a Polish poof is to put something into their environment (cage?) that resembles a poof. If you have a couple of small nylon shower puffs, you could hang them in where the chickens are, and maybe the red will go after them instead of the Polish.

If you have cotton balls, you could string a bunch together to resemble a Polish poof and hang that up. The idea is to draw the attention away from the Polish with something that looks like him. Chickens are less likely to target a victim when they have multiple things that look similar to distract from the single target.

Get creative. Use your imagination. You can probably come up with something.

Are three puff balls enough? I have enough cotton balls to make one more if this isn't enough.

I have them separated. I'm gonna switch them back and forth between the cage and being able to roam around the house so that they each get equal time out of the cage.

Try the three puff balls. See how it works. Let us know.

I put the puff balls on the ground and cricket (the production red) started to peck at them.

She has been standing up there for the last twenty minutes.

Good that the red noticed the puff balls. But you don't want to wear out the novelty until you put the two chickens back together again.

I think this might work to distract away from the Polish when you do let them back in with each other.

I plan on keeping them separated for a few days.

My cockerel just crowed and i crowed back. Now he's super confused.
