One of my rhode island red hens always has patches of missing feathers around her neck and a few feathers missing on her body too. She’s the smallest of my flock and the others tend to pick on her (we aren’t able to get a rooster, unfortunately). Is there anything I can do? I always step in if I notice it and I give her extra eggs when I cook some for them (I’ve heard it helps with feather growth). I feel bad that she just tolerates how mean they are to her
. And I know chickens naturally need a pecking order, I’m just curious if there’s anything I can do for her missing feathers. Thanks
