Bare Neck-ed

[Bsmac]

Every chicken is different. I have one that's been moulting for I swear a year. She started on her neck. Then slowly to her back. Her neck is almost all back to normal, and her back is still mostly bare. Most of my others don't lose all their feathers like she did. Some just lose about half and start regrowing, and some I barely realized were even molting.

I learned something about missing feathers this summer. I have 5 ISA brown hens and I think all but a couple had missing feathers at one place or another. I started using a feed with a bit higher protein percentage and all of the birds feathers are coming back!
