HELP! Hen that plucks everyones feathers out-almost leading to deaths

[poseygrace]

Feather picking is the worst. I haven't tried pinless peepers but I have heard good things about it. You may end up having to cull her, it's not worth having all of the other birds suffer.

You can clip the top part of her beak if you want it will keep her from picking. Or there are chicken saddles you can get. Or i sometimes put the rowdy ones in with some of my bigger birds generally kinda shows them there place i had a rooster like that last week so i put him over with the ducks for awhile who showed him his place he is pretty good now since i moved him back. Not to say this part will work i might have been lucky but the first one will forsure.

well she survived the night..She is out with the no nonsense girls! Sitting on top of hay bail away from them all..lol..So far good as gold as she is NOT top dog anymore..maybe that will help her?? Either way if she starts with feather plucking Im getting pinless peepers to stop her or cull her as I don't have time to be a referee for one bird out of 80+ of them! I do like her as she had always been one of my fav's in other coop but not if she is causing life or death situations!

Pinless peepers worked for me. I have extras if you would like to see if they work for you.
