Okay, we have three 9/10 month old barred rocks, two of then has naked spots above their tails and one has no feathers under her tail, they look really funny and are other wise healthy with healthy eating and healthy poo. But its been like this for 3 or 4 months, we rub olive oil to keep the skin from cracking and there is no blood, just naked chicken butt, and some feather spots have stringy looking shafts sticking out or like there is new feathers trying to grow back, but just never does. But now the one who is only missing feathers in front of her tail is now loosing her tail feathers, their just a scraggly group now. What causes this? and can we fix it?
Oh and there isn't pecking, or at-least a lot of it, these two are the bully chickens in the coop, if they get pecked they run down the culprit and land a few good pecks to the head. They don't get messed with that often...
