I have a 19 month old rooster who looked like a stunner, at first he started losing feathers on his legs which i thought was normal.
It has been well over a month now and no signs of any new feathers also it looks as though something is eating the feather as some of his feathers are just quill!
He is losing them from his neck under his wing but they all seem to be eaten away by something as im sure this isnt molt?

I have seen my hens pick the beards off each other EE’s and Salmon Faverolles. And saw my hens pecking one of the roos wattles till he was bleeding and he let them. I had to put blue kote on his wattles to keep them from keeping it up. I added extra protein to see if that helped using dried mealworms and small dog kibble and so far it’s working.
