Hi!
I've been having feather eating problem for the past 2 months, I have tried everything but 2 of my hens just don't want to stop the bad habit. I got some pinless peepers (never used those before), so I saw few vids. and I put it on a hen, she was squeeking like she was in pain. Is that normal? I let her go with it on and she started jumping and trying to get it off with her feet, guess what... She managed to get it off. So I put it on her again, it was holding solid this time, she tried everything but nope. When I took a closer look, I saw a bit of blood on her beak so I felt sorry seeing her stunned I panicked and took it off of her... I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or what... I really want these 2, bad chickens to stop picking on others, the rest of my flock is getting balder and balder... Any help, am I doing it wrong or?
