I noticed today while I was cleaning the coop that one of my girls has lost all her feathers on one of her breast. She seems to be fine but her skin is smooth just like a breast from the store. What is wrong with her? If anyone could please help me. I'm new at this, have had them for a year. They are Rhode Islands. Shes not acting funny. Someone told me that it could be the hay and shes impacted. It looks like she never had feathers there. Or could it be mites? PLEASE I NEED HELP
