    Tail feathers

    I'm hoping to get some insight to help my girl. My little nugget who is at the bottom of the picture doesn't have her tail feathers like the rest of my girls. With it starting to get cold here in MD, I didn't know if weather is playing a factor, or if my other chickens are pestering her. Any...
