Barrier Anti-Pecking Spray 500ml

Stop feather pecking before it turns into a flock problem.

Barrier Anti-Pecking Spray is a natural, non-toxic spray with a foul taste that discourages birds from pecking each other. It works on chickens, quail, partridges and other gamebirds. It also contains a natural disinfectant with antibacterial properties, which helps soothe and protect sore, vulnerable areas while they recover.

Why act early?

Feather pecking usually targets the vent, tail, back, feet and head. It can start as gentle feather pulling and escalate into aggressive attacks. Poultry are drawn to blood, so even a small bleeding wound can trigger cannibalistic behaviour. Check your birds regularly for the tell-tale signs, and treat at the first sign of pecking, before it spreads through the flock.

How it works
