My daughter has 2 chickens that are losing tail feathers and feathers under their wings. We can’t see any visible lice. Anyone know what it might be or how to treat it ? Thanks in advance
That is too young for a molt, so I would hang out with them to find who is feather picking. They sometimes will do it on the roost if they can reach each other. Some things that can help prevent the pecking are Nustock cream or pine tar, both of which taste bad and promote healing. Make sure they are getting enough protein in their diet and not overcrowded. How much room do they have, and what are you feeding them? Do they get out to free range?
