In the spring I noticed that my rooster was being mean to my original 4 girls, thought he was
the reason why they were starting to loose some back feathers, put him in freezer camp.
I thought that their feathers would grow back, but they didn't.
I checked and checked but couldn't find bugs, not sure what is going on, It is getting worse.
We've raised 37 babies this spring/summer and all has gone well with the integration.
They seem fine and all free range together.
I have dusted them with poultry dust twice in the past month.
Tonight since it rained and they were wet, I bathed the 3 girls.
They are still eating and laying.
And I bought DE this month too.
Might have to go all out cleaning and disinfecting everything around the chickens.
Maybe I am missing something..........
Here is a picture after the bath, she is the worst.
What can I do to help them out?
