    What breed is he? Why are his feathers so odd?

    We got six pullets in April of last year and noticed over the last few days that one of them has been losing a lot of her feathers. I know that she’s too young to be molting and there seems to be too many feathers missing for it to be bullying. Also, the majority of feathers she’s losing are...
