Will they or won't they

[Redbird 123]

I just picked up six year old red sexlinks that had been with a rooster and most of there backs are bare and they have stopped laying since being moved.. My question is will there feathers grow back be for they molt and will they start laying again be for molting. Thank you

Had the same thing happen and the reviews are mixed. The aggressive rooster, long since in the crockpot, tore up the hens. Some have recovered their feathers and a couple have not. So...

Give them a good diet of high protein and access to greens/grass and a molt season and see what happens, you might be surprised how pretty they can turn out.
