Hey, @mariannewest! We don't have any chickens, so I can only sympathize with the pecking problem. I hope you can resolve it because I can just imagine what kinds of perforations Squeaker will be able to make when he is older. Velocity and size both.
We do, however, have a one-year-old granddaughter who now has four front teeth (two on top and two on the bottom). She likes to bite things, including fingers and forearms and pretty any other limb or appendage that might get in range.
I don't suppose using the water spray bottle on her would work? :)
hahaha - I think it would totally work!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I definitely need something to get her attention with. She doesn't answer to her name very well when she's laser focused on what she's doing (I don't think she quite self-identifies by name yet, anyway), and telling her some variation of "No," "Stop," or "Don't do that," works as about as well as I imagine it does on Squeaker :)
Yup!! I think kids don't hear "No" or "don't" at any age. They hear - do more LOL
