    Wrapped my chicken's wings due to pecking sores

    I have had multiple chicken farmers/vets look over the hen. I am realizing that "checked" might be the wrong word to use. She was assessed and did not seem to have the mites (a big part of that is the fact that she does not restlessly pick at her feathers/skin). She just doesn't seem to be...

    Thank you again.

    Wrapped my chicken's wings due to pecking sores

    She won't like missing out on blueberries, but I will take the advice! A few replies on here have shown me that as much as they like the corn, it is worth it to remove it from her diet, especially if it will help me to rule something out. Would you suggest that I also hold back on the...

    Wrapped my chicken's wings due to pecking sores

    Yes, she has been checked for deplumbing mites when this issue occurred in the past (but I guess it wouldn't hurt to have her checked again...). I would also think the other hen in the coop would have had a mite issue if this were the case, but she has always been fully feathered, and molted on...

    Wrapped my chicken's wings due to pecking sores

    Firstly, thank you for the help. I am sure the other hen (only have two currently) is not pecking at her, as I have had a 24/h camera on them repeatedly in the past to ensure there was no bullying. I feed them Layer Feed and cracked corn (from the local tractor/farm supply store), but also feed...

    Wrapped my chicken's wings due to pecking sores

    I appreciate the help. I'm at a loss, because I feel like I've tried everything (vet visit, checked for mites countless times, Banixx, warm epsom salt baths (not with OPEN wounds), and Vaseline on lesions, but not Neosporin- I will have to try that). The fact that the other chickens have had...

    Wrapped my chicken's wings due to pecking sores

    Not constantly of course, but the phases come and go. Trust me, it's not something that I take lightly or neglect. I put HOURS of attention every week into helping her. Her egg production is normal and the shells are healthy. When the bald-spot problem arises, I seek advice from chicken farmers...

    Wrapped my chicken's wings due to pecking sores

    Okay, I think I have attached the pecking site pictures to this reply (Sorry- I'm still figuring this out). My biggest concern is that she won't leave them alone when they are uncovered (and she managed to get the gauze loose again, so they're uncovered at the moment...). I think my next move...

    Wrapped my chicken's wings due to pecking sores

    Thank you! Her breathing seems normal, she's just so off-balance, it's hard to not be worried. I just need to buy time for a few hours before I can (hopefully) use something else to cover her wings, but not restrict them as much.

    Wrapped my chicken's wings due to pecking sores

    Sorry, I don't currently have a good photo of the pecking sores (I'm not with the chickens right now, and I stupidly bandaged her sores before I took a photo...), but this shows the bald spots that she struggles with (significant, I know... She looked worse than this when I got her a few years...

    Wrapped my chicken's wings due to pecking sores

    Some background: My chicken (about 3 years old- Plymouth Rock) has self-inflicted pecking sores on the top side of both of her wings. She has had a problem with keeping feathers on the lower half of her body since I got her (over two years ago), and despite giving her additional vitamins and...
