Hello Everybody,
I have 15 chickens and it seems that they start getting some sort of feather disease. It started with only one of them, around 6 months ago, but now almost half of them got it.
Please see the attached six photos. Does anybody in this forum know what this disease is, whether it is dangerous or not and how I can treat it ?
All the chickens are perfectly fine, they mostly lay egg and they all look healthy otherwise. The only problem is with their feather, otherwise they look and act perfectly fine.
Also, to mention that this is NOT seasonal. And their feathers aren't growing back. This started almost 6 months ago and still the first one who got it has not grown new feathers.
If I want to describe it, at first it starts with feathers that look wet, even though they are not wet ( like the yellow chicken in the first and second photos ) and then after a few weeks they start losing those wet looking feathers.
Thanks ,
T
