Anti-Feather Pecking Spray 250ml | Nettex

Description

Anti-feather pecking spray for poultry.

BB 10/2028

Nettex Anti-Feather Pecking Spray is a dual-purpose spray to help prevent pecking among chickens and cleanse minor wounds.

  • Deterrent spray with a strong odour and foul taste to help discourage biting, plucking and cannibalism.
  • Contains antibacterial agents that will help cleanse minor skin wounds and abrasions and support the healing process.
  • Cannibalism and feather pecking are complex behavioural problems of chickens. Boredom can increase the incidence and can lead to minor wounds and infection. Symptoms include pecking at the feet, vent, head, wings and feather pulling.

How to use

  • Disposable gloves must be worn
  • Shake very well before use. We recommend vigorous shaking for at least 60 to 90 seconds before use.
  • Spray for approximately 3-4 seconds around the pecked area
  • Repeat every 3-5 days until pecking has stopped

Stuff worth knowing 
The product is a suspension-type formulation and contains naturally occurring black particles as one of its ingredients. The contents should fully resuspend when the bottle is shaken before use. If the spray nozzle does block, please remove and flush it out with warm water to clear any blockage.

A must-have in the poultry first-aid kit!

Cannibalism and feather pecking are complex behavioural problems found in both poultry and game birds worldwide. It can affect any birds, from small backyard flocks to large commercial flocks. One day all is fine in the pen, then the next time you look it has started. There are many reasons for it happening, but some of the main reasons are overcrowding, boredom, stress, pecking order, poor quality feed and disease.
If it happens in your flock, you need to move fast and treat birds, and if necessary remove wounded birds. Symptoms include pecking at the feet (usually very young chicks) and the vents, tails, wings and sometimes the head and necks of young and mature birds. It can also include feather pulling. Cannibalism and feather pecking may lead to wounding, leaving the skin open to bacterial infection. In severe cases, this leads to the loss of blood and general anaemia. If the feather pecking and cannibalism are not caught in time, birds can be almost eaten alive and sometimes 'gutted' if the wounds start around the tail and vent. If you find it in your flock, act quickly. Most of us who keep poultry will find this a very useful spray as feather-pecking can be a real problem at times in flocks.

Please note that if feather pecking has been happening for a while in your flock, the 'action of feather pecking' becomes a habit. Habits can be hard to break. Removing the pecker (the bird responsible and usually the bird showing no visible signs of feather loss) from the situation is often the best thing to do. Treat the affected birds in the flock and allow them to regrow their feathers - which can take a good 4 to 8 weeks. If your chickens have wounds from pecking, please remove them and treat them with Nettex Wound Spray. Do not leave chickens with visible fresh wounds in your flock as it is too tempting for other chickens to peck them.

          I bought this as a deterrent to use on our smallest hen who gets pecked at above the tail at times. I’ve used multiple times but I haven’t noticed a change. I won’t be buying again.

          Thank you for sharing your feedback on the anti-feather pecking spray.
          Feather pecking is a complex issue that often requires addressing the behavior all the individuals in the flock. To help you work out why this may be happening and how to manage it, I recommend reading our blog post on feather pecking:https://chooks.co.nz/pages/fact-sheet-chicken-health-feather-pecking
          Using a spray is most effective when combined with an understanding of the underlying causes and preventative measures. Unfortunately, once feather pecking becomes a habit, it can be difficult to break.
          We hope the information in our blog provides some helpful guidance.

          Super chuffed

          A great product that works - would definitely buy again.
          Added benefit is that my husband, who suffers from asthma, always struggled with the aerosol version of the anti pecking spray and this is much easier on him when he's spraying the chooks.

          Sorry to say. Hasn’t worked on these girls. I think it’s now a habit they have formed sorry to say.

          Unexpected results.

          My hens are bantams, and if I had not separated them they would have killed each other. I sprayed 3 of the trouble makers but it did not make any difference. I used up most of the bottle for a few days…but they were out to kill. So unfortunately It did not work. I know pecking orders change, and I can’t have a rooster. Glad it works for other peoples chickens. The squirter piece broke during my squirting fury.

          Undecided

          Have applied as directed but after 3 applications still unsure as to effectiveness, may just take a long time to notice any result. Also the squirty mechanism broke after 3 squirts! All up, given the expense of the product probably wouldn't buy again but I have 250ml to use on one chicken! Not sure who will break first, me or the chicken.

          Nasty but Effective

          This is the only thing that's worked to stop my hens pulling each other's feathers. They're now looking much more poofy and happy for winter. I recommend wearing full PPE to spray your hens as it's definitely not nice to get in your mouth!

          Lisa

          It works but a bit stressful on the pecked bird to be sprayed. Better than being pecked to death or losing your feathers when it's so cold!

          We had a pecking issue and now we don’t … but you do need to keep reapplying every 3 to 5 days

          Anti pecking feather spray

          This is a bit tricky to use as no one likes being sprayed. But the bully did seem to back off once I sprayed this a few times. The girl being bullied didn’t like the spray at all which was a shame but the bully hated it too so winning

          Worked a treat after only one application
          In fact the picking culprit is very wary if I have the spray with me.

          Stinky stuff!!

          I have one wee hen getting picked on so I got this to spray on her to deter the others. Didn't seem to work hence the 3 stars. They still attacked her even when I put bumper bits on them. So, at a bit of a loss what to do next sadly. This stuff smells really bad and tastes worse (I got some spray back) so I guess its just a time thing.

          Anti-pecking spray

          We are very happy with this product. We wish we had heard about it sooner, because although the older girls are now not pecking the younger girls, they have gotten into the habit of chasing and the young girls, running. We are sure it will calm down once they realise that they are not going to get plucked. Just a point - got some kick-back spray into my face and even I don't want to peck at the chickens - LOL. Regards, Jeanette
