I have a RIR hen that started molting in late December. She lost a ton of feathers. She’s still pretty bare and it’s taking a while for her feathers to grow back, probably because it’s been so cold. I’ve thought about pulling her inside, but I like to leave them with the flock when I can. It’s supposed to be about 10 degrees tonight and tomorrow night. Should I just pull her in for the night and put her back out during the day, or leave her be and see how it goes?
She’s eating/drinking and keeping up with the flock, but she does look cold. I’ll try to get a picture when I see her again, they’re out free ranging now.
