So I noticed my dark brahma roo was losing his neck feathers a few weeks ago. I checked him over and no mites or lice. I gave it a few weeks to see if he was going through a small molt. Well it's getting worse.
I thought he might be plucking his own feathers but he can't reach the spots behind his ears.
He's 8 months old. They get a mixture of all flock and layer pellets. We have several roos in our flock of 45.
No one else has this issue.
I checked again and no mites or lice. I checked hum VERY thoroughly as we went through a mite problem in the summer.
Hopefully I included all the info you need.
Any thoughts??? Do we have a feather plucker in our flock??
