Hello,
So I have a gold laced cochin hen who is missing feathers... I know a few of my hens are missing feathers on there backs and heads due to my barred cochin rooster being a little rough (I plan to either rehome him or cull him as he is just too rough on them). I am kinda worried about this hen though because I came home last night to do chores everything was normal she looked the same then as I am sitting on my sun porch that overlooks the chicken coop and run I notice a lot of her tail feathers are starting to go missing. So now I am sitting here wondering if it's all from the rooster or if I have a feather plucker in the midst... My poor girls, that barred cochin boy just loves my 2 gold laced beauties and leaves half of the flock alone it seems... time to go mister rooster.
