Our preschool has two hens that free range during the day and are in their housing at night. They constantly pick at one another's feathers or pick at themselves. It is around the wing area and their bottom too. We have wormed them with ivermectin in May. They were checked by a vet who said their feathers break very easily.
They also like to dig and then roll in the dirt and tan bark.
Is this normal behavior?
One of the alum parents said they have "blackhead."
Their area at night is large enough for more than two chickens, cleaned and scraped every day. It is a brand new barn that was built for them.
I am new to the list so I hope I am posting in the correct area.
Thank you.
