Hi everyone
A lot of my hens have the feathers missing at the base of their saddles and I witnessed one of the hens taking a dust bath and the others plucking/preening her quite intensely.
The chicken lying there isn't bottom of the pecking order and is quite fiesty so I'm unsure she's lie there and take it if it was malicious.
It'd Autumn here in the UK - are they just moulting?
