My blue laced gold wyandotte chick is 1 week old and is losing its wing and tail feathers I dont understand why but I to out 2 days ago and found her wings all ruffled up! So I thought maybebits just out of place but they wernt then I saw they were falling out so i put her with the younger chicks just in case they are picking her feathers that are wild. Nope not the problem!! Please help i will post pictures! She eats drinks a poops well but she loves the heat lamp a little to much.

May be she's molting or plucking her own feathers due to stress?

This moult refers to the loss of down being replaced by juvenile feathers.

What feed are they on? Have her feather been rumpled looking from the time they started coming in?
