Currently, my flock is in molt. Everyone is doing fine, if a bit raggedy, except for my 18-month-old barnyard mix, Lady P. She's eating and drinking, dust bathing regularly, and poop looks fine. Have checked for pests, and she's all good. (Coop and birds are treated regularly.) She's laying a bit less frequently, but other than that there's no obvious health concerns. She's just BALD. There is absolutely NO FEATHER GROWTH.
Some quick pics I nabbed of her. You can see other birds are in molt (my poor roo looks very undignified rn). I would be surprised if it was bullying, as she's pretty high up the pecking order. Have tried no-pick spray, with no improvement.
I have the means to bring her inside or take her to an avian vet if need be, just want to see if I'm missing something obvious. (Plus avian vet is like 2 hrs round trip so I'd like to avoid the stress of that if possible)
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!
