Hi this is Remy, his feathers around the neck area seem kind of scant. No other chicken is currently losingfeathers more so I see signed of mites? The feathers are also kind of hard. Should I be worried or just give him a bath?
...along with any other of his male flock mates even with a larger covey.
So I kept him separate for a few weeks, and I noticed he’s losingfeathers. I’m assuming it’s because of stress from being alone. He’s not sick he’s eating drinking but very scared and seems upset all the time. So I...
We have 24 chickens in which 10 are only about 3 months old. We have one hen who has had broken feathers all over her back for about 4 months or longer and today I noticed that under her neck area and under her she has alot of patches of missing feather where the skin is bald and very red. I...
Hi all, my 1.5 y/o buff orpington hen has started limping these past few days. She is still eating and drinking normally, although I think her egg laying has decreased or stopped. I have attached some pics, but it looks like her left leg is the one bothering her. The past few days she's been...
My girl has been losing wing feathers and now by the base of her tail. Does it look like mites? I couldn’t get close enough to her tonight without my rooster going crazy - so I took a closeup picture. Her butt feathers look a little wet too. I don’t know what’s going on. She’s otherwise is...
New to ducks with two that are about two months old. The female is losing a bunch of breast feathers. The male isn’t, and she isn’t losing them anywhere but her breast - they’re all the same small fluffy feathers. Is this normal or should I be looking for parasites? Don’t see anything obvious.
I have a 2 year old female blue australorp that has been losing her feathers. She is not one to be bullied. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Hi Everyone,
I have a polish frizzle who over the last month has been losingfeathers in random places, but in some locations keeping the feather shaft, I’ve looked and treated for mites etc but nothing. Any idea what’s going on and how I h can help her?
I have a black gold chicken hen about 6 years old. She has frizzled wing feathers and dry skin, pin feathers sticking out of her stomach and wings, and a dry skin nub at base of tail losingfeathers. What is wrong?
My 1 hen of my flock of 25 has been losingfeathers around her head for the last 3 MONTHS. I do not think molting is the issue as it should have finished by now. And I have checked her many times for any visible lice or mites. I am also leaning away from any lice or mites as my other 24 do not...
...was a day ago. I also have been giving her extra vitamins and electrolytes. Day one her feathers were ruffled. Today she is rapidly losingfeathers. She is still eating drinking and pooping like normal.
None of my other ducks are exhibiting any of the same symptoms. They are all happy and...
...seen anything like this from a hen. Any ideas on why?
I was wondering if this could be why my gal has missing feathers.
I don’t see any signs of plucking.
She has been dusted for mites with permethrin and it’s gotten worse with losingfeathers.
Here are some photos let me know what you...
He's a jumbo pekin, 1 year old and he has lost all his wing feathers and is showing his skin badly. He has yellow stuff on the wings and i don't know what it is. We noticed about 3 days that blue was losing his wing feathers, a lot of them really fast. We thought it was molting but then today I...
Chickens keep losingfeathers, 1 rooster but he only ‘loves’ on a few hens, they eat egg layer, scratch ( sunflower seeds, corn, grain, other seeds ) with mealworms. ( Along with fruits and vegetables we throw out. ) I keep spraying their bald spots and I’ve been putting supplements in their...
