clucker1 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I've just been to let the girls out to find my 5 year old skyline has been busy pulling her feathers out. I've never had this before, is it to cool down? She last laid an egg nearly 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Have you checked for mites or lice? Apparently they feather pull when they have these. Also the reason I checked mine for mites was eggs or should I say lack of. So might be that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucker1 Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Thanks Grandmashzzie, have been put with OH to manhandle her, she's a big girl....she was adopted by us as her old owner didn't want her any more . We named her Turkey as she is so huge, anyway no sign of mites, a couple of the others have got them, but not her. She's a loner, took ages to integrate, so she doesn't snuggle up with the others for the little blighters to spread....she had been kept as a lone chicken for a good while . I'll keep an eye on her, perhaps she is just trying to cool down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
