So yesterday I went to my chicken coop and noticed one of my chickens whole back neck feathers were gone... and a couple of my other chickens had been pecking at her and a couple other chickens were getting pecked too (not as bad). She had been bleeding a little and I thought since they were attracted to red that they might go for it even more with it bloody, so I put some corn starch on it to help the bleeding and I thought maybe if I put baking soda on it if maybe they kept pecking her that they would taste the baking soda and maybe realize it wasn't okay to peck her and it was gross. so I put a layer of corn starch and then a layer of baking soda on it. hopefully it helps!!!! But I thought it was strange that JUST the feather was pulled out but NOT the follicul…
someone mentioned to me that maybe she got it stuck or frozen to something and had to rip it...? could that be likely? She woulnt go outside now b/c its to cold. Its winter and below zero so I would rather not separate them... any suggestians? thx
