sugar the bully is looking poorly, we recently fitted her with a bumper bit to stop her plucking spices feathers, which has worked. its been on about 7 days she has found difficulty eating but she has laid all but 1 day since then, but not today. she is all plumped up with her head burried in her back and looking very down. this morning we cut the bumper bit off. she has had a drink and eaten some corn from my hand.

Hope she picks up a bit soon xxxMy girls found their way into my heart and now they nest there -
maybe she was fed up of the bumper thing, hope it's cured her of pecking, and she gets back to normal soon too xxxComment

she was probably just sulking, cos of the mouth thing, think i'd put one back on ....... have you thought of getting a 3rd chook, so that the aggression isn't just aimed at one? then you can leave the new one and the nice one together, so they become friends and then introduce the norty one back in??Last edited by lynda66; 28-12-2008, 04:23 PM.Comment

maybe we should stick her in with my rabbit lolComment

you could try lightly misting them all with a dilute vinegar and water solution so they all smell and taste the sameComment

take her out of the group for a few days then put her back with the others preferably on neutral ground that is unfamiliar to them allComment
