another post with another question!
« on: November 27, 2011, 21:03 »
hi sorry for all the posts with the constant questions!!

one of my hens stated mouting in september - just on the bum/underneath area, and its not grown back? i considered all the other possibilities other than mouthing like lice/red mite/worms etc, and nothing she seems perfectly healthy eating drinking running around the garden, jumping etc but still bald underneath and she looks half the size she did a few months ago, is this still mouting? as im baffled no signs of ill health but why is she still bald and smaller in size?

Try giving her some fishy cat food for extra protein. If she's still laying all her energy will be going into egg production delaying her feather growth.

What is her weight like compared to the other two chooks? She may just seem smaller if she has been losing feathers all over but not gone bald in all areas? :)
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

Rather than mite powder you might have more success by using kitten/cat strength Frontline spray on your chickens.
