Hey guys! yet another issue on my hands...
For some time my omega chook has had loss of feathers around her wings and neck, her behaviour and health is otherwise perfect, but the other 3 chooks tend to pick her feathers out, as does she herself.
What can cause this and how do I solve it? At the moment I'm curing the flock of lice, so if that is part of the issue that's entirely going to be eliminated soon (yeah take that you blood-suckers) and the coop doesn't seem to have any hazards, so other than that what else migh\t be causing it? She's not moulting, as far as I know birds don't mault for 6 months straight, and advice form our local chook farmer was to leave it be and don't worry (hence why it has lasted 6 months) but despite that i still want to see what I can do. If possible are their any cheap, home remedies? my parents aren't fans of spending much on my pets...
Thanks
