So I have several chickens who are losing feathers just
on their heads..
They will be a year in August so I don't think it's molting. I've checked their wings and vent for lice or mites and not seeing anything nor are they losing feathers else where... I did deep clean their coop today and pressure washed it & covered in DE to be safe including all the roosting bars. I do have permethrin on hand if needed...wondering if it's be they are broody and the others are fighting for the nesting boxes… or if their are bullies. We have had a pretty intense weather change, cold to hot hot and back to cold again. It's only happening to my australorps who are lower in the pecking order.
Any
ideas?
