they have been fine together all day today, donald has bit louis a few times but nothing major, until 5 minutes ago i turned the lights off to go to sleep and i heard louis "screaming" in the brooder and i found this in donalds mouth!!!.... i dont know what to do! there was some kind of liquid on the end of the feather i assume its blood but i dont know, what should i do???
i dont understand how he is getting the feathers out though? he might have had a lot more out and actually ate them but this is only time i have caught him today, i have put a divider in the brooder now
Are they both male? That may be the source of your problem- maybe they are trying to get the pecking order straightened out. Keep them separated for now.
Here is what Holderread says about feather eating, go about halfway down the page: http://books.google.com/books?id=DD...resnum=1&ved=0CAgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=&f=false
