1. In one of my pens I have 6 game hens and there is always at least on that gets picked on, they have her plucked in a few spots

2. I do sometimes use the bands in the pic below to single out a few.
All of my future games will be banned using zip ties.

The only thing I can think of is that she is getting plucked. We have had no disease, illness, or parasites of any kind. I guess I just need to find out which mother plucker is doing the damage

I thought about just going with the zip ties, but I am also considering using wing bands for the chickens. The geese get numbered leg bands already.

Sounds like you just have a hen who is pecking/picking on another hen.

I use zip ties on my birds. No particular system. Sorry.

Now my pygmy goat is sick too! Can it be environmental? I mean, WTH affects chickens, geese, turkeys, AND goats? I'm just too upset for words.
