Yes, definitely a late molt, we had crazy temps here, first warm then freezing. I do not handle her at all as I know it is painful for them. I do not provide extra light in coop. Thank you
I spoke with my poultry vet, she actually said I did the right thing by bringing her inside. I have her in a large puppy pen with large flake pine shavings. I will keep her in until she grows feathers. She is in my living room, I will most definitely put a mirror in and a toy.

One of my chickens is a Barnevelder and she's very small compared to all the other ones and I noticed that every day in the coop and in the chicken run as many many feathers all over the place but not the other hens and I am very concerned about this but I do not see the other hens picking at...
