    her feathers are comming out of her head. . . . . why??

    Quote: i dont think there is anything for her to be stressed about. They always have something to scratch and eat. There is always plenty of food. She gets along with everyone else. I dont ever see them chasing her or pecking her. I jus dont have a clue whats going on.
