The hen also struts, but she had 6 older brothers, so I’m not surprised. I am only posting him on here for comparison, mama...

    What’s wrong with my hen?

    My hen “Snuggle” has been molting for about 7 months, she keeps getting new feathers and then the feathers break off again. Her back looks like when a rooster mounts a hen a lot but I don’t have a rooster. Any ideas? Thanks
