Any ideas to help with feather plucking?
I have a single hen with a bald spot on her lower throat/upper chest area. It's not bloody or anything, but the rest of the ladies won't let it regrow. Is there a chicken bib? A bandana? Something to cover up the spot long enough for the feathers to grow past "pick at this" range. Thanks y'all!- Deltain

Cross Beak Chicken Losing Feathers
I have an Ameraucana chick that has developed cross/scissor beak so I've been mixing up baby bird formula and chicken food for her to eat. She (not sure the gender yet but I'm hoping for a pullet) comes to the door when she's hungry and has been consistently gaining weight. She's still half the...- TundraFang

Chick has bald hard spot to the left of crop
I noticed this morning that one of my 14 day old chicks has a bald spot to the left of it’s crop about the size of a dime. When I touch it the area that’s missing feathers is hard and I can feel the margins. Otherwise the chick is healthy and the other chick with it has no issues. Is this a growth?- MshVT
