White Sussex pecking!
« on: October 23, 2007, 09:04 »
Hi

Ad you probably know I have three chickens who are about 2.5 years old and have always been together.

I opened them up today and for some reason my White Sussex keeps bullying my speckeldy. She keeps going for her back and pecking her! It's horrible to see.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might suddenly be happening? My poor speckledy is now underneith the house looking very frightened.

Do you have any ideas how to stop this?

Thanks
Thanks

Beth

go get some purple spray from your feed supplier asap n spray her back this will help stop it if the other hens still carry on try seperating them through a wired fence .check for mites etc on the birds :wink:

Check the hens and the house over for lice and mites too.  It can make them bad tempered  :evil:
