Hey guys, I'm completely new to this site and if anyone could guide me on how to gt around that'd be great!!!
The main point in this thread was not just to introduce myself but get a bit of advice from the experienced chook owners on this site.
We own four Rhode Island reds, one which is distinctively light in colour and a bit of an odd-ball, and one of them has lost feathers for quite a while now.
We've established it's not the food nor hazards in their coop and run that is causing her loss of feathers because it isn't happening to the other chooks, so we're guessing she's the most submissive and is getting picked on.
She does seem to be the most submissive but how can we be sure and what can we do about it? She's lost feathers mostly around her neck, breast and under her wings.
And advice will be appreicated, thanks.
