I have seven Red Star hens, all hatched a 18 months ago. One hen was being bullied so bad that her wings were getting all bloody. I put Pinless Peepers on all the other hens. I also added electrolytes to the water in the coop were the bullied hen drinks. All the hens stopped laying after the changes were made.
I removed the electrolyte water a week after because the bullied hen has healed and started regrowing feathers. I have observed the hens for awhile and they are not displaying any symptoms of anything else (poop looks normal, no sneezed, no head cranking). They are all eating well.
Has anyone else had this happen after applying peepers? Is it somewhat normal? What can I do to get them laying again?
Thanks for any comments or advice, Bruce
