So I noticed a small bare spot on her chest the other day, then it seemed like all of a sudden, poor thing is about bare!
There are white feathers all over the place, I have heard about mites? Maybe just a bad molt? I feel bad for her, it has been so cold She hasn't laid and egg in over a week (she is the only one that gives white eggs, all the rest are a light brown).
A little background- In March 2011 we got six (two white, two light brown and two dark brown, I can't remember the breed names). Then earlier this summer a raccoon got one of each, it was a nasty sad mess. Well we got the raccoon and better secured the coop. Then we were given the three black & white ones that were hatched this past spring.
Any help is appreciated
