I have a Barred Rock that we call bare butt chicken she has no feathers other than her head and wings, she has been featherless since last fall, and shows no signs of growing them back any time soon. She is still laying and considering the subzero weather this winter I am amazed she didn't freeze to death. I did keep a light on for them all winter, and notice all of the birds lost feathers, they are slowly getting them back. I thought maybe it was plucking by the other chickens but this is boss hen that has lost hers. I keep the coop and chickens deloused and feed premium chicken feed and laying mash. Anyone out their have and suggestions on how to get her to regrow her feathers, she was a beautiful bird when I got her and now well she's bare, its sad to see her bright red behind every morning.
