    One of my red girls has a problem with her wing and tail feathers. She finished moulting about 2months ago but now has a lot of feathers onher wings that have full quills but no down or feather on them. It looks like something chewed the fluff off. And her tail feathers look like someone took scissors to the end of them. Havent found any mites ect, and the rest of the flock are good. Any suggestions? thank you

    Sounds like you have a feather picker in your flock.
