Bald chicken! Please help!

[lexiredhead]

So last night something happened because when I went out this morning she was bald and the eggs she was sitting on we're scatter all over the coop plus her tummy where she plucked her feathers put is wet and it smells funny.. What is happening???? please help thank you!

My guess would be, another hen pecked the cr*p out of her head, they had a little fight and eggs broke under the hen. Maybe other hen wanted that box! Any other animal would have killed her or carried her off. Just my HO...

Oh ok thank you! That stinks!

Will The hair/feathers will grow back on her head? Sorry it took so long to reply...

They will grow back, but not before her next molt.

That's ok. So is she still brooding somewhere else?
Time to make her a spring hat! It will take a while for the feathers to grow back.

She may as well stay in and brood, not fit to be seen socially with that doo!

I couldn't help it

I hope you get some nice chicks!
