I'm losing my feathers

[Zuesdude]

I have twenty two lady’s, No Rooters, that have been losing their feathers on their backs and on their bottoms. They all seem to be fine, just look like their molting. Is that what I have molting birds and if so why have they been doing this since winter.

Wow, that is severe. My best guess would be pecking by other hens, but I've never seen anything like it. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come in and explain what's going on here.

Could it be from setting on their poo on the perch???

Do you think it might be parasite related?

 

[Zuesdude]

I do not see anything on the birds and I don't see anything in their poo.

I have leg mites on my chickens so I have been reading all the sites. I think it could be mites and they are microscopic so you cant see them. Try dusting with Seven and change all the bedding. There are better posts here that can tell you more of what to do.
