Anti-Feather Pecking Spray works firstly by preventing biting plucking & cannibalism occurring as it contains a foul tasting substance with a very strong odour. The foul tasting substance is so strong most biting or plucking will cease after 1 or 2 days. Anti-bacterial agents have been incorporated for minor skin abrasions & will disinfect the afflicted sites immediately. These agents will also help to minimise bacterial infection spreading allowing commencement of the healing process. �
