Hi everyone, my name is Velda and I come from Lancashire, England. I only have a small garden so my flock consists of 1 cuckoo maran and 2 Barnevelder pullets, I love their colours and quirky characters. My new pullets have which I bought from my local auction have been pecked and are a little bald and bloody on their backs but hopefully I will solve that from a few suggestions from my now fellow members. That's all for now, Velda.

Hello, Velda, and welcome to BYC. Given a safe home and adequate food your new birds will soon blossom.

Welcome!
Your pullets will be fine, just take good care of them and feed them foods high in protein.
Have fun!

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Good luck with your flock, sometimes it takes them awhile to relax and heal. Mix new birds in slowly over a couple of weeks instead of immediate introduction, this will help with less aggression. Always intevene if the battles get too harsh.

Welcome to our community!

Hello, Velda, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Did they come to you that way or has it happened since you brought them home? Lots of space and good nutrition and they should do well.

Hello, DobieLover, the pullets came to me this way, have cleaned the wounds and put on antiseptic cream and sprayed with a no-peck spray. Not sure if my cuckoo maran is making it worse. Going to get some purple spray tomorrow and apply that too and hope that works. thanks Velda.

Sounds like they have found a loving home. Won’t take long before they will be beautiful with your TLC
