Almost a month old chicks. 4 wellsummers, 2 *possible* Barnevelder?
Brown ones got bullied by wellsummers. One had a bad injury (hole eaten in neck), the other only got pecked a couple times. I separated the brown ones, but they’re still losing neck feathers? One of them won’t eat much. Treating neck wounds with spray. When I put brown ones outside, they won’t peck grass and don’t stay near flock. No pasty butt or glossy eyes. Are they stressed? Sick? Does this breed just often lose neck feathers?
