I’m sure that this has been asked a million times!! I’ve owned hens now for around 8 months. With no real issues plenty of eggs lots of dust baths.
Over the last few months I’ve seen an increased feather lost in all my hens mainly two of them have been plucked bare. I have tried to segregate the main culprit but that hasn’t stopped it. I’m now worried it’s something else I’ve checked the hens for mites and ticks but can’t see any the coup is cleaned once a week and sprayed with total mite disinfectant and dust. But I can’t seem to stop the feather loss. I’ve even tried anti pecking spray. I’m now desperate!!
We are still getting eggs every day
