Just put it on... It's a double strap and either we put it on wrong or she hates it! It looks wrong so we took it off

Post a pic ill try to remember to take the camera out with me when i go feed tonight and snap a few pics and show you what they look like.But yes they do hate them for a little while they always peck at them or try to get them off... Theres a few hens that have figured a way out!

Hi can anyone help us as this is our first chickens and we are unsure on why one of our hens is losing feathers around her neck she is the boss of the girls, we have 3 altogether one of our hens is broody at the moment and she is sitting on 6eggs and should hatch any time soon. We are not sure if she has something wrong with her or she has been fighting with our broody? It seems to only be her that has lost these feathers the other hens are looking fine this is a picture of her thank you
