I wanted to try feather fixer. But honestly never tried them. But I do hear great things from it. If pellets are to large I was going to grind them down somehow. And for her diet I find meal worms, scrambled eggs, start and grow with Perkins omega 3 laying pellets. As for her hatching chicks. No she hasn't gone bloody but she is laying. I think one of her babies hatched out under my brrody Cochin bantam. But sadly she wasn't a good mama and by the time I found that out and removed the chick she died. So I can't say how that chicks feathers would have turned out. But the down feathers were full and well fluffed.I was intermittently glancing at the thread during those days, but I'd say she's looking a lot better, if I'm remembering original photos correctly! Has she been on any special diet or care regimen (like feather fixer or such) to get her feathers growing back in? I have a frizzle boy with bad feathering, been wondering whether there's anything I can do to help him... the feather fixer pellets in our area seem to be too large for seramas. He's a single gene frizzle but I know the breeder did breed frizzles to frizzles in her lines, so I think there's doubling up of some other genetic modifiers that resulted in poor feather quality. We affectionately call him Skeletor. Have you hatched any chicks from her? I'm curious to know what their feathering looks like. I haven't bred my boy yet (well, tried but none of the eggs hatched).
