Hi everyone,
I have a chicken that is looking very bald. Not sure why. All my other hens are fine. Minus a few spots... due to rooster I assume. This bald chicken is not being picked on. They all get all great.
Any thoughts?

Each year some chickens go through a hard or soft molt it seems. I think you want to make sure you increase the protein in her diet to help her go through it. Keep at eye on pecking though. I have 5 chickens out of 16 going through a hard molt right now.
 
It's called molting...maybe.
What do you feed it?
I have had chickens for over 4 years now. I haven't seen it look this bad. Or even close to this.
They eat chicken feed that has all their vitamins for laying hens and lots of fruits, veggies, and grass.
