April 14, 201014 yr Author ohh that wont harm them will it *wait why do i ask of course it wont* :party0011: lol it worked though
April 15, 201014 yr ohh that wont harm them will it *wait why do i ask of course it wont* lol it worked though :hap: Is that an actual anti-plucking product or just a nasty tasting spray? I have a plucker sitting on eggs that is a great layer/feeder/breeder but she plucks when the pins start to turn to feathers so i usually move her out and let the cock finish feeding to prevent her even starting the plucking process. Would love to see if there was a way to stop her plucking?
