Eglu cube or go up with 2m run

Hi, I've not posted for ages because everything has been fine......until the bald bums!?

 

Two out of my three chickens have lost feathers around their vent. My also has red skin. They are clean around their vents and are laying fine. They live in a mark 2 eglu with a large free ranging area which they have access to daily.

 

I've checked for mites and lice but cannot see anything unusual except for bald bums

 

Any advice would be really appreciated

If two out of the three have bald bums I'd bet the one with the knickers is pecking at the other two!

Hi, thanks for your reply.

 

I can see your way of thinking Sherlock! 3 chickens....... (bare bum)....... (bare bum) ..... (full underwear)

 

2 bald bums......and only one with knickers????????

 

Why Watson there can only be one suspect in this mystery.....

 

I do hope they can sort out their differences if this is the case.

try some anti peck spray and if it gets out of hand a bumper bit which fits in the offenders beak and stops her from grabbing feathers
