-feathers seem to dry out/break off midshaft
-no bleeding or scabs. Occasional redness on skin
-dead shafts will eventually fall out, but new feathers will never fully grow before loss reoccurs.
-it seems to have spread to two of the other three chickens in my flock, although their feather loss is not nearly as pronounced yet
I have looked for signs of mites on them and their coop and found none. I’ve treated them for mites anyway, they’ve been moved to a brand new coop and part of the state in the last month, new bedding and mite treatment since they’ve been here, extra protein, no observed bullying or feather pulling...still the same! Any advice/insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
