KateH Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 One of my black rocks has some strange feather loss and I can't work out why. She was hatched this year so it's not moult. I have treated with ivermectin and DE. I have checked the skin and it doesn't look irritated, just smooth, can't even see where feathers might be growing back. It's mostly round her bum and chest and her saddle area looks fluffy, not nice smooth feathers. I also put cider vinegar in the water once a month. I haven't seen any feathers in the cube or run and I'm pretty sure it's not her friend pulling them out. My other hen has no problems. She lays everyday. How can I get her back to her former glory?!

Beantree Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 We have the same problem and I have read of another case on another forum KateH. Tried Frontline spray, which should see off everything, but to no avail. So she will be cold this Winter I think and may need to come inside.
