New member here; I may be slow but have finally clued in to the fact that one of my 3 hens, a barred rock, is losing feathers. I had noticed the presence of a few small feathers in the run for several week, but just discounted it as insignificant. Today, after being gone for 5 days, I can see...
I'm a new chicken owner, since this spring, and I am thrilled with my 3 hens; 1 RIR and 2 Barred Rock. I am a city dweller, but do have a large lot and garden area. I registered today because of feather loss on one of the BRs. I will post on the correct forum regarding my concerns. Thanks!
