I have a red star hen about two years old I got from an aunt that said she was getting picked on that was the reason for the missing feathers I've had her for about 5mos now and she hasn't grown a single feather back I check for mites weekly she consistently lays (I don't eat the eggs for this reason) she seems to be very healthy otherwise I just don't have an explanation I'm a ne
wbie to chickens only had them for about 6mos but haven't had any problems except for her. Need a little help and or advice on the subject.

The reason why she's not growing feathers is because they wont grow back until she goes through and finishes a moult...that's when the feathers will start growing back. The eggs are safe to eat.
 
Thanks so much I've been worried she's a great layer and quite friendly I didn't want something to happen to her that I could've prevented. Thanks again.
