Been putting off writing this post.
Flock of 10 hens and essentially no eggs since Aug/Sept. They are not molting and are in good health currently (other than this issue....I believe).
Backstory is we lost 4 alpha/domenent hens last year and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it, psychologically.
There was a feather lose issue, last year, on most of the birds from either the alphas or another picker but everyone appears to have regrown their feathers now, including one hen whose back was bare for almost a year from someone or something. Her feathers are now thick and beautiful.
I'm at a lose for whats going on and am almost to the point of turning these (non) layers into meat birds.
Any thoughts appreciated.
