Hi!
We just got 5 new pullets (about 14 weeks) yesterday, and I noticed this afternoon that one of our birds (Brahma) is missing some tail feathers.
One of the other girls is also missing a few, I’m not sure if someone is pecking (we did have one existing chicken who is about 2-3 years old) or if their feathers are coming in?
They are all different types of layers but were raised together.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Here is a photo of her yesterday, it looks like she is also missing her feathers then too.

Videos have to be uploaded to YouTube and then linked here.

Have you double checked them real well for lice?
 
Yes, no lice. It’s mainly just the Brahma. I’m not sure if her feathers might still be coming in. I got her from a very reputable, local store, so I’m sure they wouldn’t sell any sick chicks.
