Unsure what's wrong

[09bondamy]

Hello, a few of my chickens started by losing feathers around there tails and looked fluffy.. followed by losing all feathers around bum, one now also showing white ish colour where feathers are gone. The comb on the chicken has a few little white bits on to.
Just looking for advise of what may be wrong or what I can do to help them. Still having eggs as normal and eating/drinking the same. Thankyou

Looks as if the others are pecking the feathers

Welcome to BYC. Look around for one of your hens who looks perfectly fine who may be picking out her feathers. Check the hen for lice and mites. Do you have a rooster? What are you feeding them? A game camera might give some insight as to what is happening. Overcrowding, too little protein in the diet, not enough nest boxes, or boredom from not getting out to roam around the yard can be possible causes of feather picking.

Thankyou for your response. Have checked the chickens for lice/mites and can't see any visible by eye. We do have a rooster, they are currently being fed mole valleys layered pellets. We have less chickens in there house than states than can be in there
Okay, they have a fair size outside there run which is there's with tress to go under, big branches to perch on

Some of the feather loss could be rooster damage.
