Hello folks,
My EE has been losing feathers on her face around the ear and top of her head. She is the bottom of the totem pole so at first I thought she was being pecked while roosting at night.
I placed pinless peepers on the two culprits but the has been no improvement. It's actually getting worse.
She eats/drinks/poops normal.
Her eggs are sometimes softshelled.
I feed a lay crumble only with occasional treats/veggies.
They have full access to oyster shell and crushed egg shells.
I clean the coop weekly and have not seen signs of mites or lice on any of them.
I spray monthly with flock protector as a preventative.
No other hens are affected.
What is recommended? I've tried blucote but did not see improvement.
Thank you for any help or responses.
