What is Peck Stop Spray?
Peck Stop Spray is a specialist poultry care spray designed for use on visible red, irritated or damaged areas that may attract pecking from other birds.
How does Peck Stop Spray work?
The strong purple colour helps mask visible red areas, while chlorhexidine helps support good skin hygiene around the affected area.
Why do chickens peck red areas?
Chickens are naturally attracted to visible red skin, wounds and areas of irritation. This can sometimes lead to further pecking from flock mates.
Can it be used on chickens?
Yes. It is suitable for chickens, bantams and other backyard poultry when used as directed.
Can it be used during moulting?
Yes. It can be useful where feather loss or exposed skin creates visible areas that may attract unwanted attention from other birds.
Does the purple colour stain?
The purple dye is designed to provide visible coverage and can stain feathers, skin, clothing and porous surfaces.
When should I use Peck Stop Spray?
Use it whenever visible red, irritated or damaged areas are present and require targeted poultry care.
Should pecked birds be separated from the flock?
Severely injured birds or birds being persistently targeted should be assessed and separated where necessary to prevent further injury.
