    One is a Welsummer not sure about the other.

    I thought she looked like a Wellsummer also but I only got 5 from of them and I had 4 roosters and 1 hen. The other pullet was supposed to be a black sex link from Hoover Hatchery in Iowa so I'm still confused.

    Is this a parasites problem?

    Do you have a rooster? My hens look like that but they constantly have a rooster on top of them pulling out their feathers with his spurs. You can clearly see mites moving on them and your eggs if you have a mite problem. Does one of the hens constantly pick feathers off the other girls...
