Hello ! I have chickens that am assuming have been over mounted by rooster. They have little to no feathers left on their backs. I bought them saddles to protect their backs and hopefully allow feathers to grow back .. accept it seems to have made it worse, now the feathers will not grow back...
I have 22 chickens..the roosters are almost equal to the hens and I tried to throw some of the roosters out of the pen to fend for themselves (I have 11 dogs, 8 cats, donkey and shetland pony). The chickens are currently housed in a house with a 12x24 outside pen..they use the doggy door to go...
