Hi.
I have one (of three) production Rhode Island Reds that's lost some many feathers that she's looking almost like a walking, clucking, grocery store package...that still poops!
Reading other BYC threads on feather loss and their treatment(s), I took the precaution of treating possible infestations with Manna-Pro 'Poultry Protector' in the yellow spray bottle.
(About four months ago I did accidentally shoot her with a very mild bleach/water solution. Her feathers did lighten and a few fell out, but not to the degree she's lost plumage in the past several weeks.)
Pictures available on request, but in the meantime I;m going to see what the local co-op has for Ivermectrin and Permethrin (both intended for horses...)
Thanks!
