    HELP! 8 week old chick got all skin and feathers pecked off her head!

    How did the hen get along? I had a hen get her back skin ripped clear down to her thigh and I did just as Eggcessive advised you to do. She healed up and is a two year survivor. I hope yours made it also.

    Does anyone have problems with the hens going completely bald under the aprons after wearing for a few months? I made my aprons out of duck cloth. My hens are all naked underneath the aprons now. Any advice?
