3 of my hens are naked on their back sides and the feathers are missing from the top of their heads...this I blame on my rooster...however....
One chicken is missing her feathers on the front of her neck, her stomach is bare, her back is bare. She just looks moth eaten. No sign or mites, lice, what have you.
I feed them 16% layer feed. They get snacks from the garden, lawn clippings, kitchen scraps, discount produce from the grocery store, seeds...blah blah blah.
Today I filled the feeder with chick feed and gave everyone scrambled eggs. Thought maybe more protein would help?
I keep debating getting rid of my roo....I don't want to...but maybe my girls would be happiest if it was just Roo Boy and not Gamma.
I was considering buying them saddles, but they are expensive and I can't find a very good sizing chart.
I am unsure if this is the right place for this or not. I didn't believe in belonged in the emergencies section.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
The birds is question are just over a year old now.
