A few weeks ago we lost a chicken. We are not sure what got her but today I noticed this on the underbelly of another chicken ( see pictures). Could this be a wound from a predator or something else? It feels hard like a scab. I don't know how I missed it. [/IMG]

Do you know how long it usually takes for the pin feathers to be full feathers? I think then I'll have a fighting chance with the pecking. Wow! I didn't realize they could bleed like that.

My husband finished the run so I had sectioned off part of it already for my one pecking chicken. When I discovered the bloody tails and the culprit I put her on the other side of the run also.

Thank you for the feedback. There are no other chickens on the coop. My husband is finishing building the run so I will try bringing them all out this weekend.

I have 6 six week old chicks. One of them had been pecking the feathers of all of the other chicks. After trying separating the flock into two brooders (3 and 3) using blu cote and Vicks vaper rub all to no avail I finally needed to isolate her in her own brooder. So now I have 3 on one brooder...
