My Black sex-link has been getting her neck-feathers picked for the past year. Oddly, she never seems to mind. Some other hens have some neck-feathers picked as well. I see the hens standing around in a cuddle-huddle, and they just casually reach over to each other and pick necks. The ones getting their neck picked seem to enjoy it.
Anyway, today I noticed my Black sex-link's neck skin is very red. It looks like an extension of her comb and wattle. Is it infected? Just really irritated? It doesn't seem to bother her in the slightest.
