Hello Just wanted to thank you all for your advice - we separated the 2 bullies and the 2 other chickens yesterday in the run..... and then today we put them in the garden all together - and there was no pecking!!!!!! We've been keeping watch all day just to make sure, but it seems to have stopped L...

Todays update: well the bully is pecking Lily far less than yesterday, but she's still not stopped even though I've used purple spray and tar.

Will pop out first thing to get some - does anyone recommend anything else while I'm chicken shopping? I have Flubve...
