Mrs_B Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 My columbine is the only and first hen I have to go through a moult this year and she's really been through the wars this summer/winter so far, having Blackhead, being broody and badly bullied and of course moulting. I do wonder though, if she will grow her 'hat' back as I can't see any new feathers growing through (maybe another naughty chicken pecked them out - though I keep a good eye on them and never seen feather pecking from the other chook - or she damaged them herself somehow?) Here is a picture after I just gave her a clean! http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y540/emmachooks/pebblehead_zpsb3328d5f.jpg I do hope she grows some more feathers...she really has come through nicely after being pecked badly by the other girls (which is why I have two groups, as the other pair like to pick on her) - her body feathers look beautiful and she's put on the weight and starting laying again which is what I was waiting for Thank you for your thoughts, all! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christyrose12 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 One of mine was looking a little like this and I thought that maybe the others were giving her a little peck. Hopefully the spring will bring some new feathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs_B Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Thanks, christyrose12 Let's hope both of our chooks get some new feathers soon! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
