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 have locally-made layer feed and oyster shells.
There are little to no feathers on the ground. I’m assuming they eat them.
