I have a Silver-laced Wyandotte with sparse feathers at the base of her back/tail. At first I thought it was from just coming out of a molt & wasn't fully feathered back. However, today I saw my Red Sexlink pecking at her and when I took a closer look I was broken hearted to see how bald she had become, now realizing she's getting pecked. Not sure if my RSL is the only culprit but is the only one I've physically witnessed in the act.
Thankfully the skin isn't broken nor looks irritated. I need some advise for what to do for her.
Today after seeing it, I sprayed with Veterycin wound care as a precautionary measure then covered it with poultry dust. It blended it into her black/white feather coloring & I'm hoping it will help not to draw as much attention to her bare skin. I've tried BluKote in the past to no avail. I'm attachng some pics.
Is there something I can/should be doing for her?
