Thank you for all your replies.  I spent Saturday looking for spray, beak rings etc but to no available at all the local pet suppliers.

I would agree that she is a very clever hen and is very friendly to humans.  She follows me around the allotment and seems like the model type of hen but when I watched from afar she is so nasty.

I have seperated her now in a temporary section of the run, although it has taken 4 days to make it secure enough for her to not find a way out!!!

How long would you recommend the seperate enclosure? 

If you only need 1 beak ring! PM me and i can send you one of mine!  :D
