Loss of Tail Feathers!

[ConnecticutCowgirl]

Hi all,

Recently, this morning actually, I noticed one of my chickens was suffering from feather loss on her tail... Is this just from pecking or is there an underlying cause? What can I do to help her!

It could be from a number of things; molting, mites/lice or cannibalism. Make sure she along with the rest of the flock has lots of protein. Check for mites and lice and signs of molting.
