Hello, Its been a while since Ive been on the forums and not sure this is a true emergency but my chicken could die so.... I have an Olive egger that literally lost most of its feathers to molt in like two days. This would not normally be a problem but Im in MA and its been below freezing for the last several days. Its currently 25F. She is shivering. I have never seen a chicken shiver before. I fed her some scratch and mealworms. Is there anything I can do? This may sound dumb but should I bring her in for a little or will she have too hard a time acclimating when I put her back out or could I even put a little sweater on her or something just for a day or two. Don't flame me for the dumb questions please. Im not a total newbie but just a new problem for me. Thanks all
Ill try to post She's obviously the Olive egger in the middle.
a picture but it doesn't really show the extent of her molt but she probably lost 80% of her feathers, she is at least half the size she is normally.
