Hen feathers not growing back?

[Rachel_liz15]

Will take any help I can get! My two Rhode Island reds, Henrietta and Mildred, were victims of over breeding from my broad rock rooster. He was not a very nice rooster and was hurting my girls so we made the hard decision to remove him from the flock. He’s been gone a few weeks now and this is how my girls are looking. I’m very worried. My hubby says I’m just overreacting, but I don’t think I am! I’ve sprayed them with antibiotic spray for chickens, used anti-pick lotion, used bag balm, used chicken saddles, and I just switched them to a higher protein diet. They’re only a year old. As of literally 3 days ago. Am I overreacting? Am I not doing something right? Please help!

I forgot to put in that i currently have 3 broad rock hens and my goose (he’s our guard goose) in the flock. Our goose has never ever done a thing to harm my ladies and I have noticed that my broad rocks definitely intimidate my reds but really only when it comes to food…. I really haven’t seen my reds get bullied by the broad rocks at all.

Welcome to BYC.
Have you noticed any feather picking going on? If not, feathers will regrow during molt.
