Hello all,
One of my chickens was attacked by another and had a lot of her back feathers pulled out. We have her in quarantine with food and water but have seen little improvement in the last four days.
I'm wondering if we should bring her inside the house until her feathers have regrown. We have been leaving her in our shed for protection from the elements but it gets below -10 Celsius pretty consistently now and I'm worried that without her feathers, she's much more suceptible to the cold.
The second part of my question is, if we bring her inside should we put her outside every day while the sun is out or keep her inside until she's fully healed?
What would be the best plan of action? New chicken owners here.
Thanks so much!!
