My EE, Sable, has some bald spots. One on either side of her neck, and one on her saddle. The feathers there are all rough looking.
Relevant facts:
- we don’t have a rooster. I saw one of our hens mounting the others, though I haven’t seen that behavior in a few weeks.
- I checked her over for mites/bugs. I didn’t see anything moving (they would be obvious, right?)
- they eat chick feed for the higher protein, oyster shells on the side
- I have 6 birds in a 4’x6’ coop. Their run is 10’x21’
Question: is she just molting? Everyone is looking somewhat ragged. How can I help her?
