can anyone tell me, if the feathers are plucked and presumably eaten by the dominant birds, does this suggest a lack of something in their diet, or is it just for "fun"
just an idea, hens otherwise healthy and have always laid well in the 18 months we got them and started out ?

could be boredom or bullying. There is a spray antipecking spray which may help. I am the boss with mine and pick them up. Could they be moulting?

Thanks for reply will try anything, tried purple spray, but still continues,my little great grandaughter is concerned for their "sore btms"
