I thought a few of my hens were being pecked by another one, but today I watched one of the worst-pecked ones picking at herself. I'm wondering if they have lice or mites? It's been below freezing most of the time for the past several weeks--sometimes above freezing during the day, down below 0 F. some nights.
These girls were hatched last May...could they be molting this soon?
