wombatally Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I posted last week about our Speckledy. She has lost a lot of feathers underneath and near her vent. At first I thought she may be moulting but I now think that something may be biting her. There is no evidence of red mite in their house and I use the powder and diatom. She does seem to have little bite marks but I'm not sure from what? She is wormed regularly but has passed a couple of softies in the last couple of days and is laying erratically. Is there something I can douse her in to stop whatever is getting to her. Incidentally the other 5 are fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Sorry, don't really know . She's not showing signs of broodiness is she? Feather pulling from the tummy is common then, but not the vent I don't think . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Could be one of her flatmates is doing it. Some anti peck spray or a few drops tea tree oil diluted in water and sprayed on might stop them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
