if you look at tail feathers and if they look a little ragged or even see skin, they are starting to molt. Our Aussies were extra fluffy and then skin was showing then blood was showing-with the bare skin, the others decided to peck the rest of their back out, by their vents. Much better now after a week of a great spray but until they have feathers back in, can't put back in coop.
our girls aren't even supposed to molt this year and our coop doesn't look like a feather pillow, I think it's a few that were getting thicker feathers perhaps.
ahhhhhhh. Do you think she was moulting? She has her pecked feathers coming in now, looking very well and all healed. I was worried it may have been the peeper pinching her comb or fact she's not laying. But the moulting makes sense. How long until things go back to normal? Been out of coop since 15nov or so to heal, laid a week after that. Cant put pecked on girls back in until feathers all back. Healing started the 20-21st.
