This is not a Swedish person saying thankyou. Stockholm tar is an antibacterial paste that is useful for applying to sore patches on your chickens, for example, where they have lost feathers especially if the skin is broken. If you have half a dozen chickens or less this tub will last for ages.

Stockholm Tar should be applied to the affected area, using a small brush. The antibacterial tar seals the area allowing natural healing to take place, and deterring further attack.

Battles Poultry Stockholm Tar 400g
Tar stayed on for a day - Chickens loved it!
Adam,
Thought this would be the answer to stopping the dominant chickens from pecking feathers from the chest of the most submissive... nope.. within 24hrs both the submissive one and the entire flock decided that they needed to clean all the stockholm tar off of the chicken. She now has fewer feathers than she did before.

Polly,
Yes, it certainly deters chicken bullies from pecking unassuming members of the flock. Must taste bad. When the pecked, bloody patches are covered in tar, the vulnerable chicken seems to relax a little, join the flock, step forward for food etc. Sadly have to re-apply after heavy rain but our bullied chicken is getting used to the routine. She never objects so the tar must feel quite soothing although it's a sticky business to apply. She can till flap her wings, poor sausage! We are considering making their playground more adventurous and possibly introducing more chickens to see if this helps. We only have 4. Tar is helpful but maybe need a better, longer term solution, beyond keeping her on her own.

A plaster for chickens !
Finola,
I bought this as my broody silkies had pulled each other’s head feathers out and drawn blood. It sealed the wound and allowed it to heal. Very messy - so wear gloves when applying!

brilliant product
Janet,
I used this to allow healing and feather regrowth in quail hens that have been over-mated hence had all their feathers plucked from their heads. they were healed and happy in no time. I use it for all minor injuries and they heal so fast. checked it out on my eczema and it is very soothing too!

Awful
Monica,
Worst purchase I have ever made. My little Cuckoo (silver Sussex) was being pecked near the tail so put this on the area at bedtime. Awful, the following day I felt so cruel that I had done so a horrible thing to her. The others hated it & her for it & really bullied her, so what went from a little peck went into a full scale bully. I wiped off what tar I could & used one of had Hi Viz Vests bought from Omlet, to protect the area for her - this worked. So would I recommend the tar - only for resurfacing a driveway.
