    Feather loss why!!

    I would think if it was feather picking, at least one of my other 8 hens would show signs of being picked, unless this one is extra tasty, lol. Also I would think I would see her getting picked at least once in the last few months. But its a possibility.

    Feather loss why!!

    We have 1 rooster. The feed i think is 16% protein but they free range all day as well. Have never seen any picking going on and the other 8 hens look fine. We have not treated for lice but will research that.

    mutt or not?

    Agreed...def. pure bantam Brahma or some cross with a bantam of another breed and a brahma. Looks to much like a buff brahma though to be a cross. .
