Help! How can I protect my chickens bald neck!!!

[easteregges]

She's an easter egger. Her sisters have plucked her feathers out. Can I bandage it?

If she is bleeding I would separate her for a while until she heals, the same thing happened to one of my chickens once they see the blood they don't stop pecking so I got "Rooster Booster Pick No more" on Amazon it worked well, it stopped them from pecking I think it smells or tastes bad so they don't touch it once you apply it on the chicken.

A dog kennel. They work best as a fast separation/back up plan.

I agree, I did the same thing and my chicken healed and eventually grew her feathers back!

I agree.

I would probably bandage it to keep out any dirt wood chips, etc.

How would you recommend separating her,?

How do I Bandage it?

Can you post a picture of the injury?

In the typing box, it's the little square with mountains in it.
Or, the 9th icon to the right.

Does that help?

I'm sorry I don't know to do the url thing.

The one in the middle.

Sorry, I should've done this first..

Do you have any possible cockerels in your flock? With any feather picking, you would want to make sure that you have enough room, places to hide, prevent boredom by getting them out to free range, and make sure they are getting a balanced feed with at least 16-20% protein without adding a lot of treats.

They are all hens. They have a large pen, with lots of leaves, hay, perches, wood shavings. Their coop is made from a shed. They are also on a 20% protein feed from a local feed mill.
