Help For My Frizzle Cochin - Feather Issues

[Brahma Chicken5000]

@Brahma Chicken5000 is that a molt? Looks similar to the OPs hen.
Oldhenlikes dogs: thoughts?

Don’t believe it is a molt. When I got her I was told she was a rooster’s favorite as evidenced by her bare back. I have put her in feather fixer and have been giving her scrambled eggs and her feathers are starting to grow back in.

Holy smokes. She looks like a cutie...

She started losing a few feathers and then it progressed to this. Thought maybe the Roo was being too hard on her so we removed her and she is in her own little house. Now it is to the point her wings are completely bare and she looks like Edward Scissor Hands. She is still laying and eating. I give her crumbles and meal worms and clover and wild strawberries. She went in the sun today and I took the pic. She seems to love laying in the sun and stretching her wings out. Please advise if you know what I should do. View attachment 1416265

I'm having the same problem I've had her for 6 months and it started about 3 months ago none of the other chickens are having problems . She getting sun burned I've put a saddle on her . I'm worried she looks rough . If it were some type of mite would it have affected others in the flock. I'm afraid both her parents were frizzled and she's always going to have problems since I don't know her history

I bought 10 frizzles from a breeder last year. One definitely was a frazzle and she goes through periods of feather issues and her feathers feel different so I keep her separated from the main flock. The others (I have now lost two - and I am a DEVOTED chicken keeper) all look like your hen. I've tried for months. People have said that frizzles sometimes have a protein deficiency. I've tried extra protein. Protein snacks. High protein feed. Flock blocks. Nothing. I've treated for mites. Nothing. Its horrible. I just bought some feed that is supposed to help regrow feathers on molting birds. We will see. NONE of my other chickens have this issue. AT ALL. All of my straight feathered birds look beautiful and some of them are in the same pen. I think it has to be genetic somehow.

I bought 8 frizzled cochins from a breeder last year. One definitely was a frazzle and she goes through periods of feather issues and her feathers feel different so I keep her separated from the main flock. The others (I have now lost two for misc reasons) all look like your hen. I've tried for months. People have said that frizzles sometimes have a protein deficiency. I've tried extra protein. Protein snacks. High protein feed. Flock blocks. Nothing. I've treated for mites. Nothing. Its horrible. I just bought some feed that is supposed to help regrow feathers on molting birds.
