    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    So Chipmunk was being reintegrated after growing her feathers on her back and tail. We took out the bullies and last night was her first night back in the coop. Everything seemed fine, the two bullies were in the house last night and everyone was up on the roost when I checked on them around...

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    I'm really sorry that happened- Chipmunk is 12-13 weeks old now, how old was Dottie? She has almost all her feathers it's just her back and tail now. I think she'll be okay once she has the rest of her feathers in, it's just getting her to that point and then the reintegration. She's a very...

    Here is her feathering. I just sent an email with my concerns. I might call them.

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    She's been inside the house for 6 days now :/ she does seem to be lonely. I can't keep her inside forever and I can't build her a new home for herself. I'm pushing things as it is in this neighborhood. I'm hoping I can keep her separated long enough for her to get all her feathers and not get...

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    I got her from My Pet Chicken as a day old with 9 others- mixed breeds. I've been trying to research this slow feathering issue and I can't find anything. Just that it can cause picking problems :/ The Golden Wyandotte was the fastest, all the others feathered roughly the same, except this one...

    Going to try bringing her out to the flock today and see if this helps.

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    Mom made a saddle. Doesn't cover the butt enough though. Not sure how she feels about it.

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    Like I said, I swear there is some Vaseline around here somewhere... Still looking for it. They have plenty of room in an outdoor run and their coop is big- according to calculations I found around here they should be fine. I really think it's that she never fully feathered/she was always the...

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    Don't mean to sound ungrateful, I really appreciate the advice, this is my first time with chickens so I didn't have these things on hand, and apparently they aren't readily available around me. Just trying to find short term solutions while I don't have the ideal scenario/setup. Lots to learn.

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    Local TSC did not have any of that in stock, I searched it online, my local one doesn't carry it/wouldn't ship it. The stuff I posted was the ONLY stuff I was able to get locally. The rest either not available for pickup or when I ordered they cancelled it because they didn't actually have it...

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    After a few hours in the office, this is what it's looking like. She's definitely a lot less stressed. And she's actually trying to roost next to me in my armchair. My poor baby 😭 she's behing a lot more friendly too. Not picking, just normal preening. I think the others were picking and she was...

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    Ok, I sent that and some patterns to my mom, I have zero fabric in this house and she likes to sew. For now, Chipmunk is in a dog crate with bedding, food, and water in our office and seems to be relaxing.

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    I couldn't find any of that stuff at tractor supply which is the only local store here. Only the stuff I posted about. I was hoping the no pick rooster booster would do what you were suggesting. I thought I had Vaseline here but haven't been able to find it and I haven't made my pandemic grocery...

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    I ordered an apron, not sure when it will get here. Parents are bringing over dog crates, one for inside and one for outside. Going to put one in the run so I can have her out during the day but separated, and the other inside for night time. I'm afraid if I separated her for too long she'd...

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    I guess my biggest question is: will she bleed to death? I let her up and tried putting some wonder dust wound powder on her feathers but she's right back to preening despite the awful taste. She's hanging out by me though. I'm both scary and comforting?

    I'm holding her and putting pressure on the shafts.

    Feathering in Speckled Sussex

    Update: There is definitely feather picking. Broken shafts. Blood. I got vetricyn plus poultry anti microbial spray and pick no more cover up lotion by rooster booster. These were the only things I could find around here. She seems very distressed and picks at the lotion and even though she...
