Rooster Booster Pick No More, 4-Ounce, One Size (038-50910)

Love this product! Be careful though, it s.ells like grape candy!

It works great, just use gloves and don't wear any clothes you don't want the product to accidently get on when a chicken freaks out. The smell is not pleasant. I doubt it tastes well, which is the point since it's a no pick treatment. A month of application and our bald chickens now have feathers again.

I have a girl that was being picked on constantly where the others drew blood. I tried separating her for a few days (house hen) and then putting her back only to have her wound exposed again. I ended up ordering this based on reviews and I really wanted to love it. I thought it would be more sticky and dry hard but that’s not how it works. It’s more of a paste that will easily rub off. It did absolutely keep the others away for a bit because the smell is off putting but once it comes off it’s game on 🤦‍♀️. If the formula could be improved to dry harder it would be a 10/10!

I used this on 1 hen to start, but it got rubbed of before very long. It goes far so it's a good value. It's a dark color so be careful getting on your clothes. Just in case. Doesn't smell bad. I will keep using it to see if it works better now that I put those aprons on after i applied the liquid. The aprons seem to work for keeping the others from pecking while the feathers grow back and keeps spurs from rubbing it off as well.

This stuff is great. We purchased 6 hens from a local farm to be our urban backyard chickens. One had a large patch of back feathers near her tail missing from an agressive rooster. Once these girls combined in our backyard the other 5 started after her since she was already injured. (I've read they will cannibalize one like this.) She got worse everyday. I researched remedies and bought this. The substance is gooey and smearable so I coat her skin where the missing feathers are. It smells up the coop but has a herbal type smell. Initially, when the other girls pecked her they really disliked this goo on their beaks, wiping them off in the grass. One day later some still chase her but no pecking! The color it makes her skin is a dark purple-gray, making the missing feathers less noticable. I put it on in the morning and before they roost so they don't peck her as they roost. I just feed her mealworms and apply while she eats. Simple. For me, its a great product I would definitely buy again. I purchased a saddle too but so far haven't needed it.

The reason I gave it a 5 stars in taste is not because the taste is good lol you don't want it to taste good, you want it to taste bad so the chickens stop pecking and hurting each other and its exactly how it works, I saw 2 or 3 chickens giving it a try from the back of my already hurting chickens and the peckers did not like the flavor at all the started brushing their beaks against the floor to remove it and stopped pecking and hurting my hens :). Not only that but it also colors the skin and feathers purple making it unattractive for the culprits because chickens like pecking on red color and a bloody chicken is not good and becomes a dead chicken sooner or later so use this, it most likely save your hens. I have to apply it once a day with rubber gloves to avoid getting purple fingers, it does not come off washing your hands but if you shower it does comes off.

I expected the product would have a taste so bad that one peck and the hens would be immediately discouraged from pecking their flock mates. To my disappointment, this grape juice smelling goop seemed to attract the hens and they kept pecking until they devoured it along with the feathers it was supposed to protect. The back of the rooster’s crest is now bald and red and this goop is not protecting him either. I think this product increased the severity of the pecking problem. It started with one hen and the others learned from her. They have abundant protein and calcium. The main offenders have now been isolated. I’m guessing there might be a hereditary gene that one feed store chick is carrying or perhaps just a case of boredom and curiosity that turned into a terrible habit. The goop is not difficult apply. Just squeeze out some on a folded paper towel to spread evenly on feathers and/or bare skin. I wish it worked as advertised.

First off it's annoyingly stinky. I always wear nitrile gloves.Second, I've seen a complaint like great now my bird pecks itself. And it kinda does sometimes after first putting on but soon figures out it's out.. Also I find them just looking at it, which one could possibly mistake it for pecking.You do need to keep at it. Once or twice a day usually. You slack once and there back at square starting one with bare skin.I suggest using it generously.And pay attention to your birds habits and adjust accordingly. They can give you directions for a good baseline but you need to tailor to your needs.Also like that it's purple. I've read that red skin attracts the attention of birds so this helps to combat that. Also aids in visibly seeing when more needs to be applied.Overall this has been my go to. Not much luck as no pick. I've debated trying Blu-kote which I'll eventually buy and try. Probably would have tried that first just because the ease of Aerosol application but didn't realize it could be used for feather picking.And be realistic there's no single application product for this. So going to take some work and commitment to work.Kind of a long review for suck an item but when you on the fence of what to buy it's nice to have info. So hope it helps someone!I've also come to like alot of the products from this company and keep them on hand.
