So no one has an opinion of what to do with the chicken that plucking feathers from ithers and eating them and is chasing everyone else away from both feeders even when not eating?

I have no idea Dax.

I wouldn't worry if I didn't hear it peep. Geese don't peep.. they honk.

Ya think? Howdy, whites!!!

You shouldn't need to be repaired until your old, but some folks are early bloomers...

Hoping all goes well tomorrow, Phil. Best of luck to ya, buddy!!!

Solitary confinement. If a week of that doesn't fix it, a pot of boiling water is guaranteed to solve the issue.

Segregate her. You sure something she needs isn't lacking in the feed? I believe feathers have a lot of protein; that may be what she's after.

Someone brighter than me wanna weigh in on this?

It could be a day or two before you see an external pip.

and

For the same reason chicks have blood vessels right up to the time they start zipping.

Oh yeah and once you have a Bone Marrow Transplant...your immune system starts over....so you can catch everything over......first several years after I caught every cold going around.

Hi Phil I had no idea that happened. Good luck with your tests tomorrow.

I also wondered about protein deficiency, which causes many birds to pluck and eat feathers... but it doesn't explain the bad behavior of not letting the others eat from either feeder. The bully definitely needs to be isolated from the others until it can learn to play nice...
