sluphur can be bought at most drug stores, and ask where you buy your chicken feed, If they sell food for other animals they should have the sulphur also.the only thing I have ever used sulphur for is dog mange, so sorry can't help with any thing else. marrie

here's an old school for cocci, whole milk or milk powder in the feed but don't put in to much runny poop, I've used this for mild or mod cocci if used for severe cocci it doesn't always work and the birds can be stunted

So what do I do with the sluphur. Feed it to them or just spead it around coop and run?

Thanks in advance

The other frequent cause of feather picking is too little space.

From what I have read here, pine tar does seem to stop them from pecking. Evidently it tastes bad to them.

Thank you so much but space is not an issue coop is nine foot by 12 with run that is 50 by 60 feet.
