Durvet No Pick'n for Chickens

Easy application and causes no undue distress to the chickens once applied. Hardest part is catching the chickens. They get wise to the bottle quickly.

I almost didn't order this because of all the reviews saying the spray bottle didn't work. Then when I received it I thought they were right... until I noticed a little safety toggle on the neck of the bottle. Once I switched off the safety it worked like a charm and I'm glad it has that feature! I have two chickens in particular that I bought this for, one broody girl who was pulling out her own feathers and another who is being picked on by another hen. This spray has solved both issues, with the broody girl I spray it on her preferred plucking spots about once a week and her feathers have grown back. The other I only sprayed once and it seems to have broken the bully's habit. 5 stars all the way, grateful to have this in my cupboard!

Works great

I’ve used this on a hen that was getting picked on, and it definitely helped reduce the pecking when applied consistently. The smell seems to do its job — other hens lose interest pretty quickly after it’s applied. It’s especially useful for minor wounds or areas where feathers have been pulled, giving them a chance to heal without constant harassment. That said, it’s not a one-and-done fix. You do need to reapply as directed, and it works best when combined with addressing the cause of the behavior (boredom, pecking order issues, etc.). What I liked: Helps discourage pecking fairly quickly Easy to apply. Useful for protecting healing areas Things to keep in mind: Needs reapplication. Strong smell (that’s kind of the point) Works best alongside proper flock management. Overall, a helpful tool to have on hand if you’re dealing with pecking issues, but not a complete solution on its own.

The spray bottle is extremely difficult and does not work. The head of the sprayer pops off when you squeeze and try to spray it and nothing comes out. I'm not new at using sprayers so I don't know what the problem is. Something to do with the design of the spray head is off. I really was hoping to try this product. Disappointing.

Smells nice, but wasn't a deterrent for the other chickens. I ended up getting a saddle.

Helped in healing

Ahoy, fellow poultry parents and feathered-friend aficionados! Gather 'round, for I have a tale to tell—a tale of a rooster who went from rumpless to resplendent, all thanks to No Pick'n for Chickens! My rooster, Rio, is the chillest rooster you'll ever meet, so chill that he's practically a chicken popsicle. But his laid-back demeanor had a downside: the hens turned him into a featherless wonder. Imagine a rooster without his tail feathers; it's like Thor without his hammer, utterly incomplete! Enter No Pick'n for Chickens, the hydrogel spray that's basically the "Fairy Godmother" of the chicken world. With a blend of Tea Tree Oil, Hemp Seed Oil, and other essential oils, this spray is the Hogwarts potion for feather regrowth. After a few spritzes, what do I see? Pin feathers! Yes, tiny quills sprouting like a phoenix rising from the ashes—or, in this case, from Rio's rump. Soon, he'll be flaunting a tail that could rival a peacock's. Let's talk about the dark side of the coop: picking and cannibalism. It's like 'Game of Thrones,' but with feathers. No Pick'n for Chickens is the peace treaty in this feathery feud. It's like the spray whispered to the hens, "Ladies, let's keep it classy." The hydrogel formulation is as easy to apply as it is to say, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!" A few sprays here and there, and you're done. It's so easy even a chicken could do it—if they had opposable thumbs, that is. The blend of essential oils not only promotes feather growth but also smells like a high-end spa. My coop now smells less like a barn and more like a wellness retreat for enlightened poultry. If you're tired of your rooster or hen looking like they lost a bet, or if they are acting like they're auditioning for a feathery version of 'Fight Club,' then No Pick'n for Chickens is your go-to solution. It's the peacekeeper, the beautifier, and the spa treatment your chickens didn't know they needed. So, here's to Rio and his soon-to-be magnificent tail, waving in the wind like a flag of victory.
