Sussmarolle
Chirping
I just got my chicks last Sunday, 2 of them are my Salmon Favorelles and they are between 3-4 weeks in age and the rest of my chicks are a week to 2 weeks younger (different breeds). They were all doing really good together however, the last two days one of my Salmons is pecking/picking herself at the very top of her tale feathers. She has started to draw a little blood and I can’t get her to stop! When she does this all of the others run up to her and peck at the spot as well. I have now separated her and have cleaned the area with Veterycyn plus but she continues to peck at the area. What could be causing her to do this? Ingrown feathers trying to come through that are causing irritation? Please help, any advice is welcomed. Thank you
