I have all 7 hens loosing feathers on their backs thanks to the rooster. He is a leghorn and getting some large spurs.
I never had a rosster before and I understand this may be normal since he is doing the deed.
What can be done to prevent the hens from loosing the feathers. They look really bad in my book. If it is normal than I will not worry, but I am affraid the rooster is to heavy or the hens do not have the room they need to get away from him.
