Hens have lost all feathers at wings

Thanks for this info. I separated the cockerel from the hens this morning. I have a small coop and pen that I will set up for him this afternoon. He is free ranging now and the hens are in the big coop. I love the aprons! Checked with Tractor Supply Co, but they don't sell these.

You can make your own hen apron or buy some from Ebay, Amazon etc.

I plan to keep them separated as much as possible until I can get more hens.
Does anyone know how long their eggs could be fertile after separation?

High fertility for up to 2 weeks after separation. Allow him access to the hens every 5 days or so, and eggs will remain fertile.

I think it might be molting.... the feathers will eventually grow back.
