Missing feathers

[stinks2bme]

Can anyone tell me what’s cause the feather loss on my chickens? Never had this before. I have dusted them and complete cleaned and treated coop. They are losing tail feathers, bare breast and butts.

Do you have any roosters? What season is it where you are?

No rooster and it’s summer time. Weather has been cool and now to get hot again.

I would treat them for feather mites. I don’t know the exact treatment but there are plenty of threads on how to treat feather mites on here.


If you treat them for that but it’s still happening I would watch to see if there are any chickens pecking out each other’s feathers.
