My nearly 2 year old Rhode Island red, has always been picked on because she is so much smaller. But now her neck is nearly bare of feathers and she is missing some feathers on her wings. I took her out of the run 2 nights ago.
I thought she might be being pecked to death. Are there other causes for this type of feather loss. How do I check for mites?
How long should I keep her out of coop with the rest of the hens?
She has been blu-coated, her water has pro-biotics and we are feeding her extra protien mealy worms and sunflower seeds.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
