Help! Featherless Chicken!

Let's see. Corn, oats (I think), sometimes eggshells, grapes, bread, and yogurt.

What are those red bruised spots?

Oh, they're just reddened areas on her front and back that we sprayed with a purple disinfectant. No damage done.

Ok, I have a chicken with those from our goose,

 

[SuperChickenDude327]

No geese (yet, hopeing not), however I am getting a lot of new birds in the spring.

My turkeys had looked like that too, and someone said that it could have been cause by mice biting feathers off for their nest, or other hens breaking feathers off, or they were rubbing themselves against a wall.

They molted, and grew their feathers back very nicely.

If it is a slow,hard molt, buy a 10 lb bag of game bird chick feed. It has 21+% protein which will make a big difference in feather production.

Don't forget the calcium, they need that for good feather production as well. DE is a great source that is readily digestible and pretty inexpensive.

Your turks are BEUTIFUL! Sorry bout the spelling. Anyways, same kind I'm getting.
Thanks for all suggestions. She doesn't look like she's growing many back, but I'll try. I checked her over, and she had mites

But I dusted her.
