Rooster is getting dominated

When you find out, let me know! One of my hens plucks Hawkeye's saddle feathers all the time. Here is my poor plucked rooster, who should have a backful of new feathers!

 

I think I remember over on EZBYC someone used Listerine cut with water and delivered with a spray bottle. We've only had experience with the girls munching the poor roo's comb (had to bring him inside to thaw the blood off) a couple of winters back. We used pine tar cut with betadine, antibiotic ointment and a couple drops of tea tree oil. That stopped the picking immediately (be aware that mix can be toxic and was applied in a very thin layer with q-tips).

Something bad tasting should do it. Hang up a couple of peaches on the fence (give the girls something else to worry).

Good Luck!

 

Looks like The Hawkster needs a saddle!

 

Yep a new product.. The Saddle Guard for Henpecked Roosters! It's only one girl and she only picks feathers off of him and no one else. Then she and several other of his younger wives peck and pull on his wattles and make them bleed so they just never heal.
I've tried the following on his wattles:

BluKote
TeaTree Oil in Vaseline
Vet Rx
DMSO
Hot pepper juice & Tabasco in a petroleum base
Ichthammol
Stop Bite for fingernails
Bitter Apple spray

These are some tough women! Next I get some wattle colored Vetwrap and cover up his personals, the poor boy.

 

poor feller is hen pecked,happens to most of us men folk,you old hens should be ashamed

 

Payback time

 

If only the poor guy deserved it! Some roosters probably do, but Hawkeye's such a sweet boy and I feel so awful for him.
