Feather Pecking Chick

« on: August 26, 2012, 13:19 »

Is there anything I can do about a 4wk old LS feather pecking chick? I've tried separating it but as soon as I put it back with the other chicks they panicked and the LS started immediately pulling out feathers and pecking skin. I've taken it back out again and the others halve calmed down.

The only thing I can suggest is a beak ring. What a horrible habit for a little chick like that to develop
