Two out of three of our laying hens have been having some issues for the last 6 months, at least. They're missing the feathers on their backs! We couldn't figure it out, and since we didn't have a rooster, we just assumed that the hen NOT missing feathers was being a bit sassy and asserting her...

Thank you!!! I will be getting it into a much bigger pot with nice fresh soil and plant food, etc tomorrow the second the nursery opens! I feel bad for this poor little wilted thing dying under my watch
And thanks! I have to say I'm a techie farmer wannabe, I took the picture with my...
A couple of the leaves, especially toward the bottom, are turning yellow with brown dots. There aren't any concentric rings in the dots that I notice yet, they're still small but big enough I guess to say no, no concentric rings.

I allowed my girls access to their run on the very first day, but their run is under the coop so it's protected. I don't have much experience, so maybe an expert will know better?
And the two reddish-brown gals look like my Rhode Island Red girls, not sure about the two darker ones though!
