Oh my Gosh! Thank you! I didn't know I could change back, I was not liking the new way. Yay!

One of my Silkie cockerels did a bite at me again. Second time. Doesn't bite hard, doesn't attack me. He does it when I pick him up. Any way of disciplining a chicken that's not flogging, just beginning to bite? Hold his beak and say no?
Seems like I had another topic last night, but forgot it already. Thanks! Pam

Pin him down, nor hard but firm. He needs to know who's boss. I have to do this with my rooster when he starts picking on my silkie girl. He pecks at her feet so I press down on his back until he settles and concedes.

One of mine did that a bit Pam, I just kept picking him up many times a day and he stopped.
