where do you think these feathers are coming from?
It could be a small molt they have those periodically through the year too. Just hard to say but hopefully Flipper will begin to grow her feather back in and can be released with the others soon. If you get a day where you can stand being outside for a spell maybe let her out and watch them to see how they are with her. When we're having extreme cold temps for long periods I will hang a cabbage out for everyone to chew on. They love it. Also hanging heads of Romain can give them something to do. Flock blocks can help. But hopefully adding the cat food and some greens will really help with the feather quality.
They sure can be a hoot. I know we're all looking forward to warm days with sunshine. I buy the big bags of romaine at Sam's club for the birds and just toss heads out on the ground they love to shred it.
I have hung cabbage for many years with out any problems They maybe get a head a month. This is between 2 geese 25 chickens and 12 ducks so doesn't last long. Good to hear Flipper is looking like feathers are coming back in. That's good with your weather.
