HRC99 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Our little Rosie has got a bit of a bare patch on her neck and it seems to be spreading. We've watched them and, although she does get the odd peck off the others, it doesn't seem to be bullying. Her appetite is fine. In fact, she eats like a pig (always has). But I think she hasn't laid for a couple of days now. Should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Probably not. The neck is a typical place for feathers to be lost in a partial moult. Why not check her over for lice and mites to be on the safe side, but a moult is the most likely explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRC99 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Thanks! I do feel better. The other thing she does is constantly puff her feathers up. Curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
