CluckyBucks Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hello forum I recently gained the cutest, tinyest, squeakiest speckled pekin from a farm last week, the only problem is that she was a victim of bullying, and so has little bum feather coverage I was just wondering how long it would take her to fully grow back her gorgeous feathers. -Protein is being supplied in the form of insects and mealworms xx xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 you should see some improvement inside a month but it could take up to eight weeks to refeather completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j00lz_12366 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 is that just pekins that take only 8 weeks-our ex batts are still VERY bald in places-doris and cissy werent too bad when we got them and they look good now 6 weeks on but betty and ada are still very tatty looking-theyre obviously healthy, they are very active and have lovely red combs and faces..butb theyre still tatty..is that normal?

Goosey Lucy Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Some of my ex-farm girls took nearly 6 months to refeather completely. They weren't battery but had been kept in very large free-range flocks. I did start to despair that they would ever look lovely but apart from one who still has no tail feathers nearly a year on, they are looking soooo much better.
