I made a thread a while back about a feather pecking problem, I initially though this was down to our run being too small so started using anti-feather pecking spray, and let our girls free range through the day, initially this seemed to work but as soon as the spray stopped the pecking continued and I've decided that I had no choice but to use the bumpa bits I'd bought.
I've put them on 2 of the girls just now, and had to do it own my own by hand I just wanted to check if this looks right please?
Reading around it seemed that it should go in her nostrils further back from where it is in the pic, but I physically couldn't get it that far back and it seemed to sit naturally where it is.
I really just want to make sure it's not going to hurt them where it is? I know it's for a good reason but feel really awful putting it on them.
Also, I understand they will need their food and water in their coop cups with them on - will they still be able to eat say a cabbage okay?
