Bald, bald, bald --- bald as a ping pong ball

[BlueMoon]

So Tammy, one of the two last Golden Comets, has had a bald back for at least six months, maybe closer to nine. Otherwise, she appears healthy, just cold.
I've had saddle guards on her and that didn't allow feathers to grow back in over two months.
Any suggestions? Lots of protein for her diet? Keeping her away from the roos for a bit? Thanks

How many roos to how many hens???

I would take her out for awhile or maybe take out the roos!!

About 100 hens and 12 roos, all free ranging and she's not one of the favorites. I really don't think this is the problem, but have put her in with some broody hens to keep them company.
She's about three and a half years old and most of the other Golden Comets we've had didn't make it past 2 1/2, mostly due to reproductive issues. Looking back at old photos, she may have been bald even longer.
So I'm thinking maybe diet?

I had 2 SLW's that were the same way and I swear I never thought that they would grow their feathers back. I separated them from the roos and that didn't work. I gave them extra protein(BOSS),that didn't work. Finally they went through their molt and had their feathers back. It took 8 months for them to look normal again. I just thought that their skin was too scared or something to grow new ones and then all of a sudden they just popped out.

might try letting her have more sunflower seeds
