No, it happened when I put them in with the older birds. I put my 1 month Olds in with the 3 month Olds and the 3 month birds kicked their butt. Then I figured the 3 month old birds are ready for the year old birds
I think the bare back is from getting pecked to much. The Rooster/Father is a Lavender Amerucana and the Hen/mom is an Easter Egger or White Amerucana from totally different states. The birds on the picture are only 3 months and they are in with 1 year Olds
I just put my 2.5-3 month old Easter eggers in with my fully grown birds. Poor things are getting their *** kicked.
I am having a tough time trying to tell if they are roosters or hens. The pea combs are so small period that I can't make out the roos. Please help! What do you think.
