Hi friends, I received 27 chickens via Hoovers April 13th (7 weeks ago). We got a variety of breeds, including a Leghorn, GLW, Brhamas, New Hampshires, Polish, some Sex-Links and a couple more. Because of some permit troubles, at 6 weeks (when we deemed it time to put the birds outside) we still did not have a permit to put the birds in, so I made a 4x5 foot mesh pen for them to live in. Recently, I began to notice some feather loss in the head and back of one of the Polish hens, and the back of 2 of the smaller Brahamas. At first, I thought this was a result of exposure to water, but not I am thinking it is because of bullying. I brought the harmed chickens inside, put the Polish seems to be really shaken up. What can I do to help him recover? And do you guys agree that it is pecking?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
