    Help! Easter Egger not eating Or drinking at all

    None of them have molted completely. But they have all started laying in the last month or so. I’ve seen feathers laying around here and there. No bald spots . I do see the leghorn going after the soft feathers of the two Easter Eggers every now and then.

    White patch’s near ears

    That is a distinct possibility. I think she is the only one that I have that will lay white eggs. (She hasn't ever layed yet)Interesting. Hope it’s not a fungal infection.

    White patch’s near ears

    There was a sudden drastic change in weather with a cold snap that came through. Last night I noticed these white patches behind Nuggets ears. I thought I saw the same spots on the comb and wattle. She seems to be eating just fine. What could the white stuff be? Should I put some coconut oil on it?
