I have two hens that seem not to ever grow their feathers back. Their back and but is completely without feathers. The skin looks sunburnt. I do run a rooster with them and he is moderately aggressive.
I have a total of 8 hens and only get 1 egg a day now. What can I do to first get the feathers to grow back and second increase production.
1- I feed Tractor supply layer
2- I supplement with vitamins in the water
3- I feed sunflowers with scratch grain
4- I have not wormed the chickens about 2 years old
5- I do not see mights on them
Is the feather loss from the rooster doing his business? I have no issue removing him
Is the egg production tied to the loss of light? I just put a light in the coup. Coming on at 330 in the morning
Thanks
