Hello, I am wondering why 3/19 of my hens have this wound in the same spot. There are no roosters among them. They are in a portable tractor so they have access to fresh grass every 2 days. I noticed the wounds fresh 2 days ago, they seem to be scabbing over nicely now. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may happen? Did they pull their feathers out out of boredom? Were they being bullied by the bigger hens? Is this because they went a few hours in the morning without food around the same time? Is it because their area flooded around that time and they were stuck in the mud and roosts until I moved them? I attached a picture, please let me know what you think.
Thank you,
-Andrew
