Thank you for your reply. The girls that were his favorites have had their feathers missing for about 10 months now, and I see no sign of anything new coming in. Is there anything I can add to their feed to promote new growth? Thank you so much for your help.

Hello all. We used to have a rooster that pulled the feathers out of some of our hens. I thought that if we got rid of the rooster, the feathers would grow back. But, they don't seem to be. Will the girls grow their feathers back? Is there anything I can do to promote feather growth? What...

Thanks again everyone. I'll have to ask my wife tonight what she wants to do with one of them.

Thanks a bunch everyone. Yes, it is a Silver Laced Wyandotte that my wife named Dotte. I really wasn't planning on having any roosters, but he's not aggressive so I suppose he can stay around. Thanks again for your help.

At the moment, they still have the heat lamp on 24 hours a day. I'm planning on putting them out in...

Thanks all. No roosters it is. We'll stick with the hens. Thanks again for the help.

My wife and I are just getting into chickens, and I have a question that I didn't really find addressed. Even though this is the first time we've had chickens, I have had house birds (parakeets, cockatiels, etc.) ever since I was like 9 or 10 years old. And believe me, that's well more than a...

Hello all, Like so many others I read here, we are new to chickens, even with living on 40 acres the past 30 years. We have 6 chicks ranging from 3 weeks old to 6 weeks. At the moment, they are in a cattle watering tank down in our basement, but will be moved out to the chicken coop/run this...
