I got her from this guy selling them outside my school and had a bunch and he colored them with disgusted me
I dont know how old but probly 1 month now and I just heat her up with my body or with the other chicks
 
Did she once have feathers or did she never really grow feathers?
What is the age? I think I see some down still in the tail area?
Where are you located?
What are you feeding?
When she was just a chick she had he what I like to call the baby fluff but then she started growing and didn’t grow he feathers
She’s around a month and a half
I like in Ecuador
And I feed all my chicken corn but we give them fruit and vegetables when ever we can
 
They probably pulled all her feathers out.
Can you cage her for a while to see if they grow back?

Do you feed your birds a commercially made poultry feed? If so which one?
No I just give them corn but it’s weird because her other sister if fine she had all her feathers but one has lost a few feather and she barely has any

They might have a protein deficiency. If you feed them more protein, they might start growing out feathers. Many BYC owners feed extra protein during the molt, as it makes it easier for them to grow new feathers and keep warm in the cold. Protein-deficient hens will pluck and eat one another’s feathers, so they could be pecking each other bald.
