bald spots

Mites, feather pecking or a molt? 5 out of 6 hens are losing feathes on their necks, heads, backends or stomachs. Their skin looks clean and mite-free under their feathers, they’re about a year old and we don’t have a rooster. All are laying semi-regularly, one lays soft eggs frequently. We...

We have nine hens in a fully enclosed coop and run. One of our Ameraucanas has recently gotten bald spots around her face and on her head. She seems to be shaking her head sometimes, too (I'm not sure if she's doing that more than usual or if I'm just paying closer attention). I picked her up...

Hello! I have a 2 year old canada goose that I care for. He's been with me since a hatchling. Have never had any real issues or illness with him. Although as of abput a week/week and a half ago. His feathers started thinning around the crown of his head. I noticed he was really scratching that...

3 yr old buff orpington roo was attacked last summer by a fox but recovered. Now he is noticed to be very lethargic, laying around, and with patches of feather loss. I brought him in to see what's happening and found tiny yellowish larve(head of a pin size) and all remaining feathers have lint...

I have 19 hens and no roosters all of them are coming up on 2 years old. One of my chicken has some big bald spots on her back that are getting worse and I'm looking for some advice. I'm gonna be setting up a separate area for her so I can seperate her from the flock but if there's something I...

Hi, I am still a newbie to chickens and this chicken has been just not right on and off. In desperately need some wisdom. She has had a bald patch on her back towards her tail for a while now. I took a pic to the guy at rural king that seems very knowledgeable. He seemed to think nothing of it...

Hello ! Two of my female Muscovy 1yo ducks have bald spots. They have one under each wing, and smaller ones on the wings. Besides that, no behaviour change. Are they molting ? Thank you for your time, Anaïs

My chickens have been not so good lately I'm going to try to take them to a vet soon. At first, my chickens for a while now only had little pieces of their feathers missing all over the bodies. But just around 4 days ago they suddenly got bald spots and every time I go in their its worse. I see...

I recently got two Khaki Campbell ducks and now they’re fully feathered and seemed to get along okay with the older ones however lately I’ve noticed some feathers missing on their chests. And the others will occasionally bite at them. I hoped it wasn’t a big deal but I guess it got a lot worse...

I noticed a couple months ago that my rooster has these bald spots near his comb. Even though he is the dominant rooster I thought maybe the other rooster pulled some feathers out. My coop has also been treated for mites. He is the only chicken in this pen that looks like this. I also thought it...

We have 5 brahma chicks that I believe are about 8 or so weeks old. Four are gorgeous little fluff butts, and then there is this one... I don't see any signs of mites or parasites. Eating, drinking and pooping normally and quite fiesty. I thought I read somewhere that cockerals feather more...

I have 4 chicks that I bought from a Tractor Supply 1 week ago, they’re now about 2 weeks old. I noticed that all of the chicks have a bald spot on their right shoulders. I attached some pictures below. I know it looks like 2 different chicks, but it’s 4. (Ignore my chipped nail polish and baby...

I have a very small black star who has been laying a daily shell-less egg for 2-3 months now. She also has multiple bald patches, looks like she's in molt, but that has lasted for 2-3 months as well with no further changes to her appearance. She's otherwise acting perfectly normal; active, eats...

I have two khaki campbells that are two weeks old. A few days ago I noticed the smaller duckling had a bald spot on its neck, the surrounding skin is a bit red as well. There's also two bald spots on the duckling's wing. I'm not sure what could be causing this.

I'm quite new to raising ducklings and I noticed that duckling didn't start growing anything on two spots on its wings in 21 days now. They don't seem to be damaged or self pecked now, I did have a feeling they could be yesterday, but when I checked them today again it doesn't seem so - there...
