I picked up one of my EEs just a couple minutes ago and I notice on her back and her tail feathers, some of them are broken and there is just a small spot were there is no feathers. I think a couple of my chicks are like that.
So to put into consideration I have 33 (10 silkies, 10 bantam brahmas, 10 bantam cochins, 3 easter eggers) chicks living in the same area (they love to play and jump). They are 5 weeks old. And my birds DO NOT have big huge bald spots you have to kinda look for the broken feathers.
So is something wrong with my chick??
Or is it probably from playing and being jumped on, is it from a chick feather eating, or is it probably just some random broken feathers and just some spots were feathers have not grown yet? Thanks!!
