My 2 year old Buff orpington was the first hen in the flock to start moulting, it has been 2 months since she lost her feathers... all of them...
and none are growin back in yet. she only has feathers on her neck/head and on her legs... whats wrongs?
 
Try adding animal protein to her diet.A little cat food or meat scraps .The vet I use raises chickens and he told me that it helps because they need extra protein to grow feathers .SS still sells a food with animal protein called rocking rooster.
 
Yes, protein is good. Also think about a good delousing program. Hit the bugs hard.

Just did my own birds ,didn't see any but better safe than sorry.
 
I have already treated them, they eat my dog's food a lot along with table scraps and chicken food.
She also just started sitting on a batch of eggs. Is she plucking her feathers or somthing?
