bald headed chickens
« on: December 19, 2010, 13:50 »
A couple of my 6 ex batts have acquired bald heads over then last few days.  They seem to be quite happy and it doesn't look as if they are being pecked.  Has anyone got any ideas and should I be worried?

I have a bird which has always had a bald head - I adopted her after owners moves to south Africa.  They have never grown at all and she is perfectly well and laying.  Just very ugly!!
