One of my hens is losing the plumage off her feathers. The feathers themselves are not falling out. This has been going on for about 4 months. She seems fine in every other way. None of my other hens are affected. Any ideas as to what it could be?

I will post a picture tomorrow.

I have a 4 year old Silver Laced Wyandotte that has been losing the plumage off her feathers for about 3-4 months now. She is not molting and not losing her feathers, just the plumage coming off the feathers. She acts fine, eating drinking as usual. My other hens are fine. Any ideas of what...

Yes, but she has to do it when he is not around.

It's been going on about 2-3 weeks. I hope it's just a phase.

Earlier I posted that one of my 8 hens is afraid of my rooster. At that time I didn't know why but i have now been witnessing him picking on her. He singles her out. If I am handing out treats he will chase her off. He really doesn't want her anywhere near him. They are 22 weeks old and have all...

I have 8 hens and 1 rooster, all 21 weeks. For the past 2-3 weeks one of the hens, Lacy, has become terrified of the rooster. I have not seen the rooster act aggressive towards her or pick on her. The rooster has started mating with some of the hens but he is not overly aggressive. Anytime he...
