I made a previous thread about this, (https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/843714/droopy-winged-injured-chicken-losing-feathers) but it seems that the drooped wing is now healing, but the feather shedding is much more frequent. The hen is a Gold Sex Link, she is two years old, and was always being...
