(I don't know how to edit posts from my phone, sorry for the double post) I just went back outside to sit with the chickens, and I just saw one of my hens pluck a feather off the roosters back, close to the spot, and eat it. She ate the whole feather. She's doing it to some of the other hens as...
My EE rooster has a bald spot on his back. It just really showed up today, wasn't like this yesterday. It is puffy and oozing a yellow fluid. There are raised spots that feel like they are filled with fluid. There does not seem to be any open injury to it, such as a cut or puncture wound. I have...
