Marking a hen

[LizzyJo]

I have a hen that is really LOUD. I have to put her up for sale on Craigslist. The only problem is that I put fingernail polish on her toenails so I could tell her apart from the others and then everyone pecked the polish off. What is a good way to mark a bird that the others won't zoom in on?

you can try a saddle, or a mini bandanna ,

I once cut the top off a tube sock and slid it over the head of the chicken to stop pecking...like a scarf... that worked for a few days

I'm betting you used red fingernail polish????? (Chicken feeders and waterers are red because red encourages pecking behavior.)Try blue.

Put a colored ponytail elastic on her leg.
