bald spots

[duckboy123]

I have dominique hens and they all have a bald square spot on their chest they dont have mites or lice any ideas?

Any possibility that they are rubbing feathers off while eating out of a feeder? I have had a similar situation with pigeons 'rubbing' feathers off.

well there feeder is raise so it is more at their head so they cant rub there chests on it

 

[rigagirl]

do you have a rooster?

 

[duckboy123]

yes but he goes for the backs

 

[rigagirl]

he also grabs them on the head, there are a couple other threads about this.maybe this will help.
