oscar Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 One of my girls has lost her feathers around her neck. leaving a bald patch. It has been like it for about a month. Is this normal or is there something wrong? It's not a huge patch just about 2 inches from the top of her neck.. She isn't losing feathers from anywhere else many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I would give her the once over incase she has lice. It may be that she is having a moult or a "mini moult" or she could be being pecked by one of the others . I would keep an eye on them and see if that is happening.

LJ's Chooks Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 If it's under her chin check her grub is not too high... If she can't get her head into the food easily she'll be rubbing the feathers off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckynikki Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 One of mine lost a collar of feathers round her neck in the autumn but they all grew back, so it was a mini moult. Just keep an eye on it to check that there is no redness to indicate feather plucking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
