Having a bit of a pecking problem here-my Polish are being pecked mostly from the beard, but also a tiny bit from the crest (front, near the comb, not the back, where it usually happens). We have Blue-Kote, but the last time I used it, not only did it not work on my rooster, but it turned him blue.
It's been almost a year since I used it last and it's gathering dust in my basement. But I'm hesitating on giving it a try on my Polish, at risk of having more blue birds, who still aren't healed.
People have said it works wonders for pecking, and others say it does nothing, because it's meant to heal wounds, not protect them. (Which I agree with, as it was healing my rooster, but obviously did not stop the pecking.) Anyone have any success? And if not...what works the best? I'm tired of spending money on things that don't work, and pine tar is currently my next try.
