Ok, first let me start off by saying that I was raised in town all my life. I didn't move to the country until I married my husband, so I am pretty niave about what goes on around a farm.
One of my chickens has a bald spot on her back. When I looked closer it looks like the feathers were pulled out or broken off. I have never noticed the other chickens pecking at her, there is no blood or scabbing.
When I mentioned this to my husband, he told me that it was probaly from a roo holding on to her. My hens should be laying anytime now.
Is he right? Does this usually happen?
