I have 6 ISA browns. They are all the same age, 15 months. All of them are missing feathers on their chests and bottoms. They look ridiculous lol! I have witnessed them picking the feathers off of one another so I'm fairly certain that is the cause. I check regularly for mites. How can I prevent this from happening? My brother built their coop and run. Coop is probably 4 ft x 4 ft and run is 4ft x 15 ft. I can tell who the bigger bullies are because they aren't missing as many feathers as the others. Also, when I close them up for the night, I see usually 1 sometimes 2 hens are sleeping on the coop floor instead of the roost. Weirdos are stressing me out!
