This is Petunia. She is our chicken that has the comb-capped head. I'm not sure how old she is. I am beginning to think she's maybe quite a bit older than the other chickens she came to me with. She's smaller built and/or thinner.. I'm not sure which.

She has had the fuzzy butted, hardly-any-feathers on her bottom look for months and months and months now (about 6?). She's not molting. But I am pretty sure she's not laying (or ever has.) We have 6 hens and at the very most have only received 5 eggs in a day. I think she's the no-layer.

Does anyone possibly know from just looking what may be going on with her?
 
I can not see the pic but I have a hen that plucks out her own feathers and eats them, mostly from her belly and shoulders. I just started using blue kote on her, hope it helps
