hello new here:
I have 10 hens right now five of them are losing their feathers around the neck area one is the worst she has no feathers on her breast or upper neck seems to be alert and still lays this one and her sister i got from somebody at 3 months old last year all were fine until winter when this one started showing signs on her neck since then four more have started losing their feathers around the neck and two of them around their vent also skin is raw the only ones that don't have any signs are my R.I. red and four new 4 mo olds. i just cleaned out the coupe and treated it with 5% seven dust and also the dust bed thinking it might be mights also treated their food with diatomateous earth for worms will have to see what happens. Any one have any ideas on this?
