I have no idea. Maybe dawg53 can help.

Well let the Dawg out! Where is he... I posted this on the disease blah blah blah forum .... other than two nice responses.... got ignored ...typical...

Try putting Vicks..the stuff for colds on him, especially the bare spots. It may stop the hens from pecking and pulling feathers. I put it on my chicks when they were pulling feathers and had bald spots. Worked like a charm.

The protein was not the answer as they still do it

.... its not all the time, but it is a little from every bird (22 of them ) and now most of his big tail feathers have been plucked out

On to TSC today and bought some blue coate as they finally drew blood today .... sprayed the blue coate on and the birds went right to picking, but the recoiled back in disgust and wiped their beaks on the ground and left him alone

... I hope it stays that way...

Vicks will be my next move ....isolation will be my last move .... I think it may have something to do with my Butterfcup rooster taking the lead ....
