Only one of my chickens is molting. What can I do to help her grow feathers or keep her warm in the winter? I don’t particularly want to buy a whole bag of special feed for just one chicken. It’s getting colder now because it’s becoming winter soon. Also, will she be fine if I don’t do anything...

So my silkies have started laying a few weeks ago and one of their faces is getting really full with hair. Is the hair bothering them? Sometimes I find her alone, is it maybe because she doesn't realize the flock left? Also does it bother her that she can't see the best with her hair in her face?

So I’m leaving for about a week. Will it be ok to keep my run door open at night because I don’t want to leave my chickens in their coop for that long?
