Any ideas what I’m dealing with here. My buff has had feather loss for some time now. I have a small flock of 4. No other birds affected. She is laying and acting normal. Today I noticed the patchy area on her back was inflamed. I do not see any evidence of mites or lice. I’m not sure whether she is molting or just getting picked on. I thought it was molting because it was patterned. Wings, back, and a little on her head. I want to treat her but I’m not sure what I’m dealing with. Thanks in advance.
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
