Howdy All - I'm new to the forum and hope you can help me with an ongoing problem
Reference the pictures below, one of my RIR hens has (for some time) lost most of the feathers on her lower belly. The skin is constantly irritated. I thought is would be a temporary condition but has gone on for a number of months.
Facts:
1) Appears healthy other than this problem
2) Eats, lays, and acts normal
3) approximately 15 months old
4) feathers been missing for upward of 6 months (not related to molt)
5) She is one of 4 adults hens (she is the only one with these symptoms)
Any ideas, suggestions, and/or help is appreciated?
Thanks - Todd
