Hi everyone! I was wondering about my 3 EE hens... they have developed a bald spot just above their tails on their backs, and I'm wondering if it's possibly over-mounting by my rather Barry White like rooster-of-love.... two of them developed them to about the same degree, and the third one hasn't gotten nearly as bald. the spot is about the size of an egg, and they aren't bleeding or anything. I noticed some bloodfeathers coming in, and they seem to be getting a little better, but it's been over a week now, and I'm wondering if I shouldn't quarantine them? they are eating and laying just fine (the cold weather isn't phasing them a bit) and I don't see any edvidence of pecking... the others seem to leave them alone well enough. I think I may need to saddle them? Hmmm.... any thoughts? Thanks a bunch!
