My 1+ yr old Orpington/silkie hen has feathers that are broken and damaged looking. I suspect this might have been from when I had a mite/lice infestation back in April and had to treat all 4 of my girls. She doesn't appear to have any mites or lice now but I was wondering a couple of things:
Things to note: She appears, happy, healthy, is laying, and has good energy.
- When should I expect her feathers to start recovering?
- Is it common for feathers to take damage like this with mites/lice?
- Is there anything I can do to possibly help support healthy feather growth?
