    Why Is Our Chicken Losing Her Feathers -she's Not Moulting-

    Can anyone tell me why 1 of our 8 chickens would be loosing her feathers? I think they are too young to be moulting (7mo. old) We live in New England and it is very cold, but their coop is well insulated, and they have a heated water dish. Any ideas how to help her?? PLEASE??
