Wow! That takes care of ALL of them--doesn't it?
If you mean around Goldie's neck, I got her that way back in September (which is when that photo was taken). She came with seven others, four of which also had missing feathers. I atttributed it to moulting, but whatever it was, they got over it fairly quickly, except for Hillary, who seemed to make a career out of her moult.
Ebony's neck feathers are somewhat grayish.
Thank you very much for your help.
Goldie was about a year old when we got her in September. After that picture was taken (sometime in October), the feathers on her neck DID grown back. I don't know the hatchery from which they came.I would expect hens to molt in the fall but not pullets. Do you know how old they were or which hatchery they came from? I'd pull Goldie off the roost at night and give her a good look-over. Check for irritation, feathers trying to grow, other signs of mites or lice... My thinking is that it could be scarring from prior injury and there are not going to be feathers there, it could be mites, OR it could be that other birds are plucking the blood feathers as they appear.
Ebony looks like an over-melanized birchen -- just not sure about the Marans part because they are rare. What color are her eggs?
Lily white is a feathered legged Sussex, Ebony might be a Black Australorp though i am not to sure, Juliet and and Alouette are silver laced Wyandottes.
