Hi All,
I first noticed signs of feather loss from one of my chickens a few months back, but thought it was some feather picking. I know my coop was small, it was one of the omlet Eglu cubes (made out of plastic) for 5 birds. I’ve recently upgraded to a much larger coop 5x8 and only have four birds. All of them have feathers missing around the vent and belly. I’ve tried looking for mites and lice and don’t see any. Should I treat proactively with elector psp? Could they have worms (I don’t see any in their poop) ? Suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
