Hello,
I plan on posting a picture tomorrow but was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on this issue. I have a very healthy 1.5 year old hen who all of the sudden has begun to loose so many feathers. I thought at first maybe she was molting but now she has lost so many, I am worried she is going to get cold and sick!! It looks like where the feathers are missing there are new quills coming in but I am not positive. She has even lost all of her tail feathers! Does anyone have any hints or ideas what this might be? I will definitely post pictures tomorrow but its too dark out right now to take them. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated. I hope she doesnt have anything wrong with her!
Thank you
