fluffyknickers Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Nugget the is losing her feathers on top of her head so she is looking like a bald eagle! I will get a photo if you want but wondered what it could be. I havent actually seen them pecking her and would they peck her head? There is no blood and her comb is fine - she is laying and eating. I have looked her over and cant see anything but will have anothter look tomorrow too. Michelle x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Sounds like a moult to me. It usually starts around the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Yep. Around a year is normal. She might stop laying, some do and some don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
