Help! Our Polish hen and rooster both have large patches of exposed skin on their heads. We've checked for mites and lice and can't find any evidence of either. Wilma is at the bottom of the pecking order but Fred is the only rooster for our 13 hens and is a great protector. Any ideas? Wilma has had new feathers pulled out and that's where the blood came from.

Thanks! I do love my Polish girls. And yes, Punky just keeps rattling off about this or that, and the others are ignoring her. I'm thinking that sometimes it's me she's talking to. When I open their pen to let them run free, she usually starts in and doesn't quit until I go inside. It's funny! But out of 15 hens and 1 roo, she has the most personality. I'd like to get at least a couple more this year, if I can talk my other half into it. He says we have too many now, lol!They look great and it's nice to see them with your others. I too have one that is always talking she is constantly at it!! Her other flock members just ignore her now. I think the polish are quite a talkative breed I think because they can't see a great deal they talk more to see where everyone is!! I know when I go out to mine they don't see me at first but as soon as I shout "Hi" they all come to fence. Sure the neighbours think I'm crazy.
