Have had them since they were 3 days old.

They eat Purina Layena pellets. On one hen it looks like there may be a little re-growth. I don't know if they are related, got them at a country feed store.

Once again, all three of our chickens have the same bald spot. It is not just one lone chicken. Also, they have basically looked like that since June, so I sincerely doubt that it is the work of a predator. And besides that, a wound from a predator would have healed by now, and there are no...

As stated there are only 3 hens, they do not peck each other and don't pull their own feathers. They have a coop that can handle more than 3 chickens and the coop has been thoroughly cleaned and the coop and hens have been inspected for any type of bug problem. Also, we have Pick-No-More, and...

@hudsonhousechicks - All three of our hens are like that. We haven't seen them pecking at each other, or plucking their own feathers. Also, I don't think protein is an issue, as their eggs are perfectly fine and they have hard shells.

@chickenbuttsowhat - They molted during the summer, and I doubt they need to molt for five months. They've had the strange bald spots for a few months now, and since nothing we've tried has worked, we finally decided to post here to see if we could find out if there was anything else that it...

Hi, here are the photos my mom mentioned earlier. As you can see, they have bald patches near their rear. What could be causing this? (And before anyone asks, yes, we've checked for mites both on them and in the hutch, both during the day and at night.)...

Here they are

No not open sores, and this is not the first time I have ever posted. My daughter set this up so I will just wait for her to get home and let her post pictures.

These are pictures of one of my girls. I am not sure what it is. Please advise. I only have three hens and no roosters. They have been like this for a few months and it doesn't appear to be getting better. They are very active and eat and drink well, no indication of any type of problem. They...

@allieloveschickens - Yes, we've been keeping her in a cage on the deck during the day (when we're here). She's able to see the other chickens and they're able to see her too.

@Sjisty - Thank you for the tip! And I will keep her inside and away from the other chickens until the wound heals. I have also purchased Rooster Booster Pick No More, and hopefully they won't try to peck her after she is able to go outside again.

I have three chickens (all Silver Laced Wyandottes), and they are almost six months old. Yesterday, I returned home from running errands and went outside to check on them. I noticed one of them had a wound on its back. At first I didn't think it was too serious, but then I got closer to her and...
