quickcluck Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I've replaced mine twice now. Two have now fallen off again so we've left for for a few days, but tonight there are many feathers in the run I haven't seen any pecking, but they dont fall out them themselves..... Sooooooooo is it ok to put them on again or indefinately??? I only have one hen with a full complement of feathers and she has a tiny bald patch on the back of her neck!!!! I'd really like to stop anymore coming out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Mine have had theirs on for about 3 months. Most of the girls are refeathered but 3 are still as bald as the day I put them on. I think it will take a moult before they refeather. Some chooks learn their lesson quickly others need a contant reminder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
