What can be causing this?
Our take
Is your feathered friend looking a little worse for wear? If her head is somewhat bald and she seems to be the target of some serious pecking, it’s time to investigate the cluck-tastic dynamics of your flock. Chickens can be quite the social creatures, and sometimes one hen can become the unfortunate victim
 | Are the other hens picking on her or is this something else that has to be addressed with medicine? If they are picking on her (her head is somewhat bald too) what has to be done? I feed them 20% protein mix, veggies a few times a week, and have added poultry cell to their water too. [link] [comments] |
