No feathers

[chicken gal]

Hi,
My chicken has no feathers above her eyes. I am worried she a has a disease. But I am also think she is getting picked. She is an Auracuna. (don't know how to spell it) I hope she is ok. I might get her in a big cardboard box and keep her in my garage or in my bathroom. I would let her out in the chicken run everyday until it heals up.

Thanks!

If you don't see parasites, it is most likely that the others are feather plucking her. Understand that if you separate her from the others there will be reintegration problems to be faced.

How old is this chicken? And could you possibly post a picture?

She is about 10 months old, but never mind false alarm!
