Hen or roo

She's actually a dark Brahma but thank you

And this is why you start your own thread...
Gets really confusing when multiple people post birds.

No she seems to pluck them from around the legs or thighs of the other hens, sometimes around food And sometimes not. But we are seeing feathers all over the place now in the last 2 weeks

Feathers all over the place at that age is pretty normal. They go through several juvenile molts before the age of 5 months.

Sorry what I meant was that the polish is plucking feathers from my 4 older hens. Not sure if it's an aggression thing or some thing else. Was wanting to know how to get the polish to stop.

More space and additional feeders.
