Recently the weather in Colorado has been crazy Spring weather. Hot and sunny one day, rainy or snowy and cold the next. I think the stress combined with the confinement due to bad weather has caused my hens to peck at the rooster's comb and one of the smaller hen's feathers. I have been trying pick-no-more and it seems to work for a day, but I think the rooster and small hen just need to heal for a bit away from the peckers. I have a very small chicken hospital, but I am worried about isolating them. The rooster especially loses it when he is away from his hens. Is it worth it to isolate the two and let them heal? At least until the weather clears up a bit more? I have given the hens boredom busters and a covered area to scratch, but they just seem too drawn to the two injuries in the flock to stop. Any creative advice is greatly appreciated! I don't have a ton of time to spoil my hens this month, but will do what I can! Thank you!
