AJuff Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Two of my chooks started thinning round their necks, now they have what looks like grazed wings. Feathers on the tops of their wings have gone. I've not seen this in moulting chooks before. Is this normal? Or is something else going on? I am suspicious as I've seen a bit of pecking from one of the Sussex girls. Bumper bit for her tomorrow!!!

Egluntyne Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Sounds like pecking to me. My Hebe is bald exactly as you describe.......Ola has a bumperbit now and Hebe's feathers are beginning to grow back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks for the advice, my suspicions have been confirmed. Three bumper bits to go on tonight. I have caught both Sussex stars eating feathers and our top chook Hazel has a taste for them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
