Our 2 month old bantam Australorp has a feather issue- they look like they’ve been nibbled at?
What’s causing this? Is this a rat eating her feathers? Is it another chicken?

Looking at the lines on the feathers, those lines may be indication of weaknesses and they're snapping off.
It could be genetic or nutritional.
