Thanks for the responses...
There's no sign of lice, mites, or pecking. It just seems odd that only my frizzles have feather loss. I guess I can just hope that they'll grow back in the spring? My poor little roo looks pretty silly without any neck feathers. Poor guy!
I have two frizzles in my little flock; one is a roo and the other a hen. --SO cute!
Anyway, the roo has lost almost all the feathers on his neck, and now the hen has a bald head. I haven't seen any pecking going on, but the poor little roo has been without neck feathers for over a month now...
If I were looking for a good home for that beautiful girl, I would put up flyers locally that simply said: Beautiful and sweet pitbull girl looking for a great forever home. Please call for information.
What a horrible thing to come home to. We have wire over the top of our run and have dug trenches along the bottom and filled with concrete to keep the little diggers out. So far so good.... good luck with the new babies!

I have three confirmed roosters out of thirteen chicks. They are all nine weeks old. I know that they're roosters because they are already crowing! Anyway, they are all Bantams, two are old English and one is a Frizzle. What do you all know about roosters living together? Is it possible, or just...
Well... solar powered as in no electricity. A little chickie door that can be put on a timer and run off of a little solar panel. Have you heard of this?
I've heard that there is such a thing as solar powered chicken coop doors (for the girls, of course) that run on timers. I can't seem to find them, though. Has anybody heard of this?:cd:cd
