If the feathers are broken and tattered you can pull.... I don't like doing it if I don't need to, he's been a cold weather bird and since you aren't cold there and have a big weather change maybe its just going to take the days getting shorter to throw him into molt.  I say a minimum of 6 weeks for feathers to get back and on longer feather birds add a couple of weeks.  I will just usually pull one or two, I would just wait if he needed a lot pulled.  Poor guy, he was just low on the totem pole here in the bachelor pen and got his feathers beat up, bet he's loving being the only guy with all those girls.  Sounds like maybe she quit laying to go through her molt and now may be ready to set some eggs .  Good Luck at the show and hopefully he will be ready then or at least pretty close

He is happy and is a good boy! He looks amazing except for those couple of tattered feathers. If those come back perfect he will look amazing! I am so sad though as we think our hen has a broken wing. She has been getting her R wing feathers stuck between her legs for past month or so and I just realized she isn't using it and thinking back she quit flying up to roost in tree for a while. no more shows for her. Now the pressures on for hatching her eggs.

Sorry about your hen, hope she recovers alright. Hope your rooster gets some pretty feathers to replace the old ones soon. Good luck with the eggs.

So sorry about your hen, If you can confine her to a smaller area and try and wrap it close to her body so the bones don't keep moving it will probably heal so that it doesn't drag and hurt, We had a big Splashed laced red Wyandotte cockerel last fall that I was planning on using on our silver laces for our sex link wyandotte egg layers that ended up fracturing his right leg, it was a spiral fracture, you could feel the bone was broke and twisted, I was going to put him down, but then thought, we healed the duck with the broken leg, lets just try and see, so we just stuck the bone beside itsself and splinted it so it wouldn't move and stuck him in a small cage, after a couple weeks he began standing on it and after 8 weeks we took the splint off and kept him in a smaller area for the rest of the winter and this spring he was out there doing his job, got lots of chicks from him. Poultry seem to heal fast and you don't need to have a perfect set, just keep the bones from moving so the body can heal its self. Good Luck, I hope you will get chicks soon.
