Tail feathers pulled

[macadam8157]

I was told to separate her whick i have. I was also told about Blu- Kote. Does anyone know about this and what type to buy...aerosol or powder???? I dont know what to do hate seeing her alone for her other baby sister she is peeping loud and scared.

How old are these chicks? how many do you have and can you put one of the chicks in with her to keep her company?Blue-kote comes in spray and I believe you can get it in a bottle that you would apply by rubbing. But most i have seen and have here is a spray bottle. Most feed stores will carry it, very inexpensive. it will help healing and also disguise any wounds. and the reson it will is because anything it get sparyed on will be purple. thats why it is so good at disguising. Chickens are drawn to red so spraying purple will keep them from pecking at a wound.

They are coming up on 2 1/2 wks. The injured one is older than the others I got her with I do believe b/c she's a fat lil girl and her feathers are coming in first on tail so I think thats why she may have been targeted and also she is always laying around sleeping. I have 8 and yes I already put the one of the less pecky ones in with her. Couldn't stand for her to be all alone, watched them for awhile and now there asleep together. Thanks for the helpful advice!!
