It looks like Edward sissor hands got a hold of my EE when I bought her on Saturday the woman told me that she was molting. there was also a roo in with her, that is why I think that her eggs are fertile, also I compared her eggs to one of my pullets eggs that she started laying last week. My pullets eggs had no little white spot in it, while the ee egg had none does that mean that her eggs are fertile. I read that Roos can really be rough during mating. And her back and tail featers are gone and she looks like a victim of violent roo play
Berynn, that sounds alot like my storey. i recently got a few araucuna bantams and 1 hen and the 1 Roo had their tail and back feathers pulled out just as you described .. ive been assuming it was from one of the other Roosters the guy I got them had .. Do Roosters Molt too? sorry , not trying to hijack the thread but our problems are so similar except for me having a Roo, .. Ive only had them 1 week. Mark
