Old tired hen

[TaranVernon]

Please help as she is a very precious old lady with missing feathers and looking ‘manky’(as we say in in the UK) Plus our one year old handsome but huge cockerel keeps ‘abusing’ her. He is bit too rough on this old girl. Any tips to help develop new feathers on my old girl please before I take her to the vets? Thank you

Remove the randy cockerel. He's likely breaking off her feathers.
Her feathers won't grow back until she molts in the fall.

Of you can, as stated above, try to separate her from the roo. I went and got some feather blend. It has extra protein and things. I use it when they molt, or when a roo gets rough. I am not an expert, by any means. There may be a thread here, for feathers specifically. That might be a good place to research. Best of luck.
