Help!
I'm not sure what happened but I came home to a yard full of feathers. My three girls free range in a sectioned off area of my back yard. I came home in daylight to feathers from two girls everywhere. Most the feathers were from one In particular. Feathers were also inside the coop on the ground and in their second floor bedroom. The amount of feathers seems excessive to have come from another chickens attack.
Anyway the mostly affected girl is missing about half of her feathers. It's winter now and I'm concerned she will be cold. I put a saddle on her ( not sure if it's heavy enough) and a heater in the coop ( where she's spending a lot of time. Am I doing everything I can for her? She's also stopped laying eggs. I'm worried about her. Any advise would be great! Thanks
