Mocha is our 10 month old Golden Wyandotte
This morning we discovered a bald patch on her back at the base of her tail, roughly the size of a quarter. We aren't sure why it's there.
While Mocha is clearly at the bottom of the pecking order within our flock, none of our chickens are aggressive.They don't actively seek her out and pick on her.
We live in Wisconsin and still have another month or so of winter, so we're curious on what we can do to help protect the bare skin, and also how to prevent the loss of more feathers.
Any ideas?
