Light brahma pecking feet feathers?

[click cluck]

I have a light brahma (chip) who is pecking the feathers her own feet. shes about 15 weeks old. It looks horrible and sometimes bleeds slightly, her legs just have sticks on them. I see no sign of scaly leg, is this common with feathers feet breeds?

thanks for any help.

Not common at all. I might try dusting for mites to see if it helps.

Slather some Nu-Stock on her legs. It will heal and deter her from pecking the feathers on her feet and legs. Be sure to wear disposable gloves when applying it.

Ill look and see if I can find that stuff, thanks! I don't think its mites btw, her leg are clean. she is low in the pecking order so I wonder if some of the others are doing it, haven't seen it though.
