What to do with a Feather Picker?

[MissJenny]

If it's not one thing, it's his brother!!!

I have an Easter Egger who snatchers feathers, particularly from the back of a cochin and the back of a Brahma. I can get them saddles, but I'd just as soon figure out another way to make her stop.

They get plenty of protein -- it seems to me she does this just for meanness or sport.


Whatd'ya think?

Put the offender in chicken jail (I have a 4'x4' dog kennel) for a week or two. Hopefully when you put the brat back with the flock s(he) will be knocked down a few pegs in the pecking order and won't be such a bully.
