week! She is beautiful now. Let me know.

Does she have a fowl odor or discharge coming from her vent? It's possible that it could be vent gleet. I would research it and see if the symptoms match because it is important that it's caught early.

That's a good thing.

So her only symptom is losing feathers around her vent? Or is she losing feathers on her body as well?

What are you feeding? It's odd that she is losing feathers again after just molting, I've had birds molt twice, back to back, but it's not common nor healthy from what I understand.

Cracked corn has absolutely no to little protein in it.Corn may cause a protein deficiency causing them to lose feathers.Im guessing you use it because it warms them up in the winter...they dont need it.One of the most used ingredients in chicken food is corn.Also Cracked corn doesn't have the white core which contains the nutrients in it.I think she is molting as the others said.When you say Shaking do you mean a shivering motion or a shake trying to ruffle feathers thats what they do when they are molting.I would recommend stop feeding corn chickens need more protein when molting.
