Hello,
I have 26 RIRs and they are almost 4 weeks old. They are already outside in an open air type 10ft x 10 ft coop / run. I noticed on maybe 2 or 3 of my chicks right at the top part of there lower back (where the back meets the tail) their feathers are missing and you can see skin, also where there feathers are either growing or been cut off.
Most all the other chicks have there feathers all over and are not having this issue.
What is this and what can I do to fix it ? Is this a type of bullying thing or sickness or normal thing ?
Thanks
