To make them not want to peck her.

in #homesteading6 years ago

Is there anything that I can put on her to make them not want to peck her.
I have her separated right now.
I put some herbs on it that stop bleeding.

Here are some photo of my hen.

Sort:  

get her a different cage inside the cage

oh my. Poor girl. They won't stop pecking at her until you either remove her, or try to cover the wound and see if that helps. You can make one of these and try that if you can't isolate her from the others.

Awwwe. I have seen worse however. Do you have any sort of "toys" or amusements for the other birds to investigate? Some hanging CDs , tennis balls, Orange halves, even a few water-color-painted wood blocks. Chickens can get bored and start to "pick" on one or more birds in the flock. I have also seen this behavior when there is not enough perching space for all the birds to use at night. Too many roosters in the flock can also get them riled up.
