Hello BYC family,
I am needing some help figuring out what is going on with our rescue birds. The owner said “Oh the rooster was just too rough!” But I am thinking there is more going on here.
They are about 10 months old, and we’ve had them about 1.5 weeks. We did a round of corid as soon as they arrived. The birds act okay. They are quarantined from my other lovies now. They have an outdoor 4X8 cage for quarantine purposes
that is moved daily for freshness. They are laying pretty well, we have 10 girls and receive at least 5 - 7 eggs/day.
Their feathers and skin are the problem. All are missing some to ALOT of feathers. Some in necks, bottoms, and some all over. Pics included.
Do you think this is lice/mites/ or some other disease or pecking???
I’ve never had this problem with my ladies so not sure what to do.
Also, two of them have a cough/sneeze thing going on. Their living conditions alerts awful to say the least. They were in a shack with no ventilation and at least 50+ birds all walking on each other.
Should I be concerned the sneeze/cough isn’t going away? Is there anything I can do for that??
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
