Hi! Lately I have been noticing that my Americauna Hen Ducky was losing a large amount of feathers. At first I just brushed it off thinking she was molting but it has been a while now. Today I noticed that she was missing feathers near her vent, neck, and under her wings. I was thinking the cause of her feather loss was my rooster, but he is usually separated and I only left him in the coop with the girls for a couple days so I'm not sure if that can do it? Then I thought maybe she doesn't have enough protein but she is the only one that seems to be having this problem. Also on the feathers below her vent her poop has accumulated, is there anything I can do about this or should I just leave it alone? I was thinking maybe it was mites or lice but we've never had that problem before. If it is mites or lice how do I know? How do I treat them? Thank you very much for any responses?
