Such ...Your kitchen (and loom area) are beautiful! Such an inspirational area. My favorite two areas in the home - the kitchen & craft areas. On the chicken issue, whether little or full grown, I have always found Pine Tar to be the best medicine cabinet item to keep around in the barn. Whether a chicken gets injured, the others see blood and start picking on it or they provoke it themselves, a glob of pine tar put on your finger, then rubbed into the cut/injury instantly stops pecking and helps healing. I have had chickens injured by dogs and hawks before, as long as the injury is only at the skin, pine tar keeps the other chickens from picking on them and allows the injury to heal/grown new skin. I try not to separate them anymore than necessary (makes it more difficult to put them back together), using pine tar I rarely have to separate them.

Chickens eat anything--including each other.<br /><br />There's some nasty goop called 'anti-pick lotion'. Probably won't find it locally, I order it from a hatchery. It's basically coal oil. It keeps them away from each other.<br /><br />The kitchen is lovely.1horsetownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17424618189976514360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-42304376446636462482014-05-30T10:58:13.336-04:002014-05-30T10:58:13.336-04:00Great solution - they will still be used to seeing...Great solution - they will still be used to seeing each other. There is always a low bird on the totem pole, unfortunately. As much as I love chickens, they can be brutal. Your kitchen redo is fabulous! So clean, light and what a wonderful space.

It might help if you put Blue Kote (you can buy this stuff at a farm store) spray it on the chick's neck where it is raw and spray the other chicks necks also - that way they all look the same and the pecking will stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-43554395545941814272014-05-30T08:39:38.258-04:002014-05-30T08:39:38.258-04:00got you some good advice and a few puns ... the re...got you some good advice and a few puns ... the reno looks awesome and doesn't change the ambiance at all .. fab ... and its so nice to see sydneyDarylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-23720730155702776392014-05-30T08:39:36.967-04:002014-05-30T08:39:36.967-04:00Your kitchen looks marvelous!! check out http://he...Your kitchen looks marvelous!! check out http://hencam.com/henblog. for any chicken related information. <br />Lynda in MichiganWPgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06727861017230793556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-50722476618210181952014-05-30T08:24:17.941-04:002014-05-30T08:24:17.941-04:00That island is going to get so much use!
