Help!

[Verow75]

My little Red's are losing their feathers in the middle of their body! Are they being picked on? I checked my little bants and they are fine. Can I help them in any way? What should I look out for as far as infection? Thanks in advance!

And now one of them is bleeding.

Might want to post in this section instead. Good luck to you and your birds!

If there is blood, then they are being pecked. Are they with other chickens?

When my chicks pecked each other it was because there was too much light in the coop. If you have a lot of sunlight coming in the coop shade the windows. If you are using a white heat lamp switch to a red bulb.

Once they draw blood they will keep on picking at the bloody spot. The bleeders need to be separated from the rest until they heal.
