2 of my hens never finished molting and have bald spots where tail feathers come out. Hens are currently laying and do not have mites. They are eating and drinking normally. They free range during the day. Have access to regular water inside and outside the coop. Along with food they have access to oyster shell. I put peck-no-more on the spots tonight. Attached are pictures of them. Picture were taken earlier prior to putting lotion on spots tonight. Local feed store has Vetericyn plus antimicrobial spray for healing and skin repair. Let me know what you think.
