Hello -
Hoping for some thoughts/recommendations. We have 8 hens ranging in age from 1-4 years old. I would say about half of them have bottoms and lower backs that are losing feathers, although these 2 are by far the worst.
The first 2 pics are from our 4 year old buff and the second 2 pics are from our 1 year old rainbow egger.
We do not have a rooster, but did until late last summer. We noticed this in the winter.
I haven’t seen any lice or mites and treated them with elector PSP a couple of months ago just in case I was missing something.
They have been laying well and eat Purina layer feed.
Thoughts? I appreciate the help!
