I have 2 hens (1 Light sussex, 1 Bluebell and a black Rock) around 11 months old. When I let them out I noticed all of them had no feathers on their bums!
I thought it was caused by them sleeping in the nest box, but i'm not sure! I checked the nest box, perches and the hens but can't find any mites. When I checked them this morning I found my sussex with one of her feathers in her mouth! Are they plucking out their own feathers?
