One of our hens has suddenly lost some feathers around her neck. The hens are all 7 months old and they just started laying a week ago. She seems to otherwise be ok- she is eating and drinking and active.
Is this just a molt? Stress from starting to lay? It's been very cold (highs in the 20's) for that last few weeks. Any thoughts? Things I should check for?
Thanks for your help!
