Hello,
Yesterday I "rescued" 15 hens. They are barred rock, leghorns, and RIR. They're only a year old. They appear to have been in too small of a coop all winter because the majority of them have had lots of feathers picked off of their backs and butts. They are also missing feathers on their bellies where it looks like they were laying in "yuck". They look so sad and pathetic. I haven't dealt with anything on this scale before. Does anyone have any tips on improving/speeding up feather growth? Anything extra I can give them? I already sprayed them with Blukote.
Thanks!
