We were on holidays last week (had friend look after chickens) and have been home 4 days now. I’ve been out to the coop lots and just noticed one of my leghorns is bald around her butt. The skin isn’t broken. Is this molt?no other feather issues.
We have 15 hens and no others seem to have any coat issues. (One has poop stuck to her bum hairs every so often but once we clean her up she seems fine).
We’ve been getting an average of 10 eggs a day so production is good.
Please tell me it’s not lice or mites! And whatever it is - what do I need to do.
