No head or beard/muff feathers

[choptank330]

Hey Everyone!!

My chickens have something weird going on. All the back of their heads look like this (18) and my bearded/muff chickens have lost their muffs as well.

Ive looked them over and there are no bugs on them at all. I am at a loss.

Are they picking each other?

I guess that is possible. What can I do to prevent that?

You could try some Pick No More liquid on it and see if that helps but that would be a lot with 18 birds. You could also try to watch them and see if you can single out any one particular bully and then isolate that one from the others.

Or you could see if there is one bird whose feathers are intact. She'd be the bully, if she's the only one. But then she might have a vitamin or protein deficiency that's causing it.

Pinless Peepers may also help, if you can isolate the feather-picker.

Also excellent points
