Oh no! I was gone all weekend and when I got home last night, Derp's beard was missing. I've never seen any of the other hens pull her feathers, but surely that's what had to have happened! I don't know who did it. Poor Derp! Now she looks very silly, indeed!

I had a little hen who also looked something like Derp have that happen to her.  She was paralyzed and so could not groom herself.  When I would feed her sometimes the food, if wet, would stick to her face feathers.  I learned the hard way that the others would pull her face feathers out as they went for the collected food.  After that I had to make sure others could not get to her.  Her face feathers were so cute and after that they did grow back but I missed her fuzzy face in the meantime.

Does Derp dribble her food when she eats???

My hens get mostly a dry mash (plus all the grass and greens they can forage), so I don't think this is the case... unless Derp got into something wet over the weekend and everyone tried to 'help' her out!!

Oh Derp, we love you with or without your feathery beard.  Perhaps the hens are a bit restless as they adjust to the coop without a rooster.

maybe they are re-establishing pecking order? and since miss derp is so relaxed she just thought those were love pecks pulling her feathers out?

Oh no.  You need a coop cam so we can find out who(what) is doing this.  I know she can't be doing it herself.  Maybe someone is jealous because she has her own fan club.  Guess not Lorp, she wouldn't want to get dirty.
