it's nice to meet you, my life's a little crazy so I've been around far too sparingly, but I guess everyone's life is a little crazy in the end

Thanks! They already are! Nice to meet you too :) I agree, everyone is a little cooky after so long. But it's okay.

okay here pictures of our hen who is being picked on by our rooster and another red sex link. Separate her at night? i made a saddle for her that goes over her wings since shes missing feathers there too, made it like a velcro dog coat.

IMO separating her at night won't really do any good. I think the saddle should be good. Bump up protein so she can regrow feathers quicker.

the protein is 16% layer feed. What can I add to increase protein? Was thinking maybe scrambling some eggs to give them all as treats buy mainly focusing on her. Anything else I can do?

Some of our hens also get this type of feather damage from the rooster. Sometimes other flock members will pick at the damaged area also. I place saddles on to provide protection for their backs and will spray any exposed areas with blu-kot to reduce the amount of attention from the other birds. Your saddle should help immensely!
