My Jubilee Orpington, Butterscotch, (14 mos old) is losing her feathers by the handful. It's crazy. She's eating and drinking fine. Not sure if she's laying. My flock of 8 eats Tucker Milling's NatureCrest 16.5% mini-pellets. They get a couple handfuls of mealworms in the a.m. and a salad or fruit snack in the evenings.
The problem is the Barred Rock, Molly, is now picking at Butterscotch's rump. Molly is pulling feathers from Butterscotch all over, and it seems like Butterscotch is ok with that. But now her rump is bleeding. I have some Rooster Booster Pick-No-More Cover up Poultry Lotion and am wondering if that will help? Do I need to wash her rump too?
