Hi everyone,
I've been trying to find an answer to this, but have had no luck. I started noticing ragged looking feathers in my serama chick at about 2-3 weeks of age. I can't figure out why his feathers look so scrappy. Is this heredity, or can it be an illness? I started giving him extra olive oil about a week ago in his feed, but don't see any improvement (too soon?) He lives with one other chick who is also a boy, perhaps it's from jousting? They are now 5 weeks old. I don't see any mites or lice on them, they seem healthy.
The one in front
Any help would be very appreciated! Thank you so much!
