I have 3 chickens a Light sussex, Bluebella and a speckled. Last month having problems with two of my chickens ganging up on one and pecking its feathers off and making it bleed around its legs. I got some very good advice from the forum ( thankyou).
In the end I had to resort to anti peck rings which I left in for 2 weeks. I took them out at the weekend. But now one chicken has started pecking again. Can i put the anti peck ring in again? how long can i keep them in for?
I have also increased size of run , put anti pecking blocks in also. Do not Know what else to do.

I have no experience in this area but I would think it would do no harm to put the ring back on especially as it seems to have stopped the other one.
Good luck

Yes you can put them back in again just make sure that they are really clean.

HI
my chickens went through a stage last year of henpecking, in the end I ended up redoing their run and ading loads of new bits and bobs to give them something else to peck at and it worked I added a straw bale, logs, branchs, I hung cd's down from the roof as they were shiny, pecking blocks and I also ensured they had a good free ranging session every other day ( the run they have is pretty big so they don't need to go out everyday) I also added cabbages, I put food in 2 places as well so they were getting food,  all these seem to work I had brought the pecking rings but didn't need to use them, I also used that anti pecking spray but that did not work for me, hope this helps you ;>)

Thanks to you all. I have put CD,s , cabbages and an out side perch to know avail. Could it be the food, I give them Beards garden mix an all in one could this be the problem although it has 11% protein.
