pecking crown!!
« on: April 22, 2012, 17:33 »
My poor red hen is getting her crown pecked by my bossy white chicken. Its nothing extreme but she has now got a small scab on it should i put some petroleum jelly on it or something else? to be fair she does stand her ground with the big bossy white so i think she may have asked for it  ::) ::)

If it is bright red then paint with purple spray to hide the redness, otherwise leave it alone. If the white hen is doing this frequently then I would fit her with a beak clip  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.
