collected 2 exbatts on Sunday am & both were completely bewildered. Seem to be recovering ok - haven't named them yet in case they don't make it.
One of them seems to be pecking at everything, which I can understand, but she is pecking at the other hen, specifically her wattle which is bloodied
I have put the pecker in the eglu until I get to the petshop to buy some gentian violet. Am looking at buy a pecker ring too as she has pecked one of my other chickens through the eglu wire.
Anything else I can do ?
