Sunburnt and pecked.

[Katalina11]

I found this site by looking for an answer to this problem. My youngest (favourite) chicken Baba is bullied by her 2 housemates. They are free roaming during daytime in my small enclosed yard. The 2 bullies peck her chest, she has become bald and it's summer, our sun is extremely harsh and she got sunburnt today. Please, I am desparate to ease her discomfort, her skin is hot and irritated, no wounds though I am building a fence to separate them but I know the bullies literally see red which her chest has become. Is there anyway I can cover her chest skin for now so the feathers grow back and she doesn't get sunburnt? I have island tribe sunblock SPF50 (for kids) which is my desparate attempt to ward off the sun, I am unsuccessful in trying to make a safe chest covering so far. I have been using F10 ointment incase of infection. Baba is the nicest sweetest little girl who deserves to be comfortable

BluKote spray can color the red bare spot to help prevent pecking. Alushield spray an aluminum wound coating to help wounds heal, can also hide wounds with it’s silver color.
