UPDATE ON LOSING FEATHERS!!!

[ChickenLoverTrin]

Hi all,

In one of my previous posts, my frizzles lost a heap of feathers, but my silkie was unaffected. We came down to the conclusion of rooster wear but... we put a camera up in their coop, and found out that the rooster was attacking them, and ripping their feathers out! Not to mention, he wasn't attacking Rosey, the silkie, because she is his sister! We are now taking Smokey out of the cage and selling him, because if that continues and draws any blood, then our hens are done.

Thanks everyone for your support!

I don't think it matters that they are siblings, but glad to hear that the problem is solved!!
