Feather pecking is a common behavioural problem with all poultry and if left untreated it can lead to nasty wounds and infection. This anti feather pecking spray has a terrible taste and a strong odour which will discourage any naughty chicken from plucking and pecking their housemate. The problem should cease within a week of use.
This also contains anti-bacterial agents to minimise the risk of infection to wounds and speed up the healing process. This product should be used according to guidelines printed on the bottle. Ingredients: Denatonium benzoate, Benzalkonium chloride, Pine tar, Ethanol and Paraffinic hydrocarbon.19 in stock
I used the spray for 5 days both on the neck and around the vent of a hen with sores where the others had pecked her. Unfortunately the spray did not stop the pecking and the sores got bigger. So now she is on oral antibiotics and has been isolated and it looking much better.
This product seemed to work quite well. It does get absolutely everywhere though so be sure to wrap up the bottle after each use. I used it in conjunction with the antibacterial powder.
Certainly worked well when one of my older girls started attacking a younger one. Only sad that it's very greasy and stays on the feathers a long time.
Introduced 2 ex-barn hens to my small 'flock' of 2 chickens, who promptly decided to try to eat them. I sprayed the anti-peck on the newbies and it did seem to reduce the amount of pecking, although I had to renew it regularly. A combination of keeping them separated as much as possible for 4 weeks followed by vaseline on the newbies combs (thank goodness for t'internet), violet spray on wounds and topping up the anti-peck has more or less done the trick although it has been stressful for all concerned.
I ordered this as one of my hens was being pecked by the 'bully' hen. Quite amazingly since the product arrived the pecking stopped and as a result I hav'nt resorted to using it. Given all the positive reviews I am confident that should Mrs Bully revert to harassing meek Miss Mild hen, I shall have the perfect solution in the spray and hesitation in using it.
