Feather loss, naked hens

[Kiki]

no rooster. that's what I thought at first and got rid of him. that was months ago.

Their feathers probably won't grow back until they molt.

thanks for saying that. I was wondering if that was the case.

Looks like feather loss from overbreeding. Their feathers will grow back after they molt in the fall.

I think you missed it here ^^

Do you think this is over breeding as well? Has anyone ever used Nutrena feather fixer?

Yes it looks like over breeding. How many and what ages are the roosters?

I have used the feather fixer and did not see much difference.

I had a hen that would dominance mount other hens. Made me nuts trying to deal with her. She ended up in freezer camp.

Holy smokes. I don’t have a rooster, can a rooster do that?

I have 1 rooster around a year old and 16 hens this is the worst looking one. Should I take the rooster away from the hens to give the girls a break? The one in the puck is around 3 Yes old
