Millie is 3 yrs old (the chook at the back), and has accepted Molly(only one yr old) very well. They spend a lot of time together.
Lately, Molly has been pecking at Millie and pulling her feathers out. I've been wondering why she let her do it.
This morning I noticed stuff like dandruff on Millie's feathers, and I think she might have lice.
It would make sense then, why she has stopped laying eggs, why she huddles in a corner now and then , and why she lets Molly peck at her.
Now I'll get some Pestene, or something similar, and see if it helps.
Then maybe, we'll get some more eggs.
