Hi! New chicken mom so as much as I’ve researched this on paper getting feedback is appreciated.
My chickens hatched last April so they are not even a year old. Egg production is good, not problems there. The rest of the flock isn’t having this issue. She is the runt and can be a little feisty sometimes. All of my chickens seem to be healthy and happy otherwise.
But I noticed some of her tail feathers are missing, so I examine her and her neck has a bunch of pin feathers. I don’t think it’s mites. The rest of the girls seem fine just her. Could she start molting in the middle of winter? It’s been mild, mid 40s which is uncommon for NY
