My poor girl Winnie, has been going through a molt. Other than being uncomfortable, she has been doing ok, and new feathers are coming out all over her body.
Today though, I found her backside all bloodied, and the other two hens appear to be going after her every chance they get. I cleaned her up as best I could, but there is a lot of blood there. She has a lot of new feather growth going in there.
Anything I can do to prevent this from getting worse, other than completely separating her from the other two? She’s already the bottom of the pecking order, made worse now by her molting. The other two are not molting.
