As soon as it moults you'll never tell it was scalped!

Who's the luck person Sue?

They won't be dissapointed!

[Peckedhen]

Thanks Phil, I couldnt sell them when one looked like this. I have a rogue hen in the loft - she scalped the nest mate to Scalpy this weekend and it was so bad it had to be put out of its misery. It is the third time she's done it and I can only think she is going in the wrong nest box and thinking the YBs are intruders. :angry:

 

Shotgun Tim - the fastest on the trigger!

Unusual to be an old hen. Is she going into the wron box or are the yb's getting out onto the floor?

If you know 100% its an old hen then you are better off without her, more trouble than she's worth.

I cant be 100% sure Phil. It is the bottom two boxes and, with retrospect, I should have had them higher off the floor - the YBs could have been out then gone back in their own box but I don't think they would have done it three times?!

 

In my YB loft, which I use for breeding now, I have the plastic boxes like Old Guy, but the birds prefer the floor so, I have nests and youngsters everywhere and none ever get scalped - the hens will accept four or more YBs all crammed in the nest with them and never bother.

[greenlands]

Well done Sue,they always look the part.

It usualy only happens when yb's get out or get out and go into the wrong box.

I like to put a batch of yb's down on the floor together at about 17 days, all the birds feed them and none of them get touched.

Have a youngster slightly scalped. Was also a hen that did it.

She went into the wrong box. Took out the youngsters and placed with another pair over night - one each.

Took her out over night. Put youngsters back in their' right box next morning. tI then let the hen back in. She went straight into her proper - own box - and had no more trouble...and she laid an egg that night. So was sure, now surer, she went into the wrong box...

[Peckedhen]

I'm 100% sure it was the hen that did it - just not sure where or why! I have finished breeding now but will give her one more chance next season - she hasn't done it on the first couple of rounds this year. She isn't even a particularly keen hen...now, if it had been the hen from the top box I could have understood it - I hate putting my hands near her - she jumps out of the nest and runs at me - she grabs hold of my skin and will not let go - ouch!! :D

[greenlands]

There the ones you want for racing Sue.
