Have you seen anything like this? This hen almost looks like she has a swimmers cap on. Her comb covers her head. *Pictures in next post*
Is someone picking her feathers out? Also shes not a Barred Rock. Might be a Barred Rock cross. Chris
Quote:Chris, I was calling her a Dominique... but someone else said she was a Barred Rock?? Hmmm.... Now I'm unsure! No, absolutely no feather plucking. This is how she's always looked.
How long have you had her? Could be going into a molt. I am saying that she isn't a Barred Rock do to the White beak and legs ( not a American Dominique either). I would say she is a cross. Chris
Rooster damage. Bought five from a woman. Three pullets and two hens. Could not see/did not notice....go figure. Anyway, I worried over it, posted it and guess what.....the feathers grew back. I named her Lucy because she was 'red headed'....the other hen was Ethel.
She's been this way 9 months (since I got her). No rooster to damage her! No feathers falling out... no plucking... It's so strange!
kind of looks like ringworm, but i don't know if chickens get it?? but if it's been the same and not getting worse for several months it wouldnt be that. don't know
