We have a baby chick that is a Black Copper Moran and Barred Rock mix. The Black Copper Morans (BCMs for short) have feathers on their legs. This baby was born with them, too. Lately she has been pecking at these leg feathers but I am not sure if she pecking them off or if more are coming in and are bothering her. How can we tell if she has a leg disease or problem? Please help! Thanks!
