Hi,
I'm looking to rehome one of my 6 month old Silver Laced Wyandottes. She is healthy and laying often. The issue is that she keeps pulling feathers out from her sister, another SLW who is very submissive. She is her ONLY "victim". I tried separating her in "jail" (where the pic took place)...
I've thought he looked fake too thank you. He bit me yesterday and charged again today. He is a good roo otherwise and it's just me he doesn't like so I'll keep giving him time!

Thank you for answering so quickly. They do not free-range due to predators. One year ago a bobcat opened the coop door (it was unfortunately unlocked) and killed my 2 cockerels. Also have hawks, foxes and raccoons.
We're in the process of building a much larger run to give them more space...
Hi, I'm just looking for advice on how to treat my girl Raven. She is a 1 year old black Australorp. The feather loss and rash were not visible on her as of 3-4 days ago so I'm not sure when it started. I'm guessing it's been progressing slowly. It is on her lower chest/upper belly.
