Hi all,
Just wondering what is going on. One of our pekins seems to have missing barbs from the tips of her wings, and we're not sure why. Its affecting both wing tips. The same is also happening on the tail, which you can see in the background of the 1st picture - except the shaft seems to to snapped off at the end.
We've also found 3 feathers within the wing that have blood within them.
Any ideas? Other things i've noticed:
- more urine in faeces, including discharge of white urine only sometimes... but there is still large and healthy poops
- no lethargy and goes exploring around the yard
- normal height and posture (comparing to our other Pekin and overall observations)
- still laying eggs
- access to layer pellets, scratch mix and shell grit
- we have no males, although the 2 girls do at times 'rough house' a bit in one of the ponds.
Any help greatly appreciated.
