Thank you for your response! This hen hasn’t laid an egg in a pretty long time, which I believed was due to the season change. She’s still going after treats and pooping, and I checked her vent. Everything is fine there.
I think her feathers are like that because the rooster picks at her...
This morning I came out to the coop to see my Orpington hen looking like the pictures below. She hasn’t been acting super lethargic or anything but I’m worried she’s eggbound. Any thoughts?
Thank you. They are 11 weeks old and I’ve had them since they were chicks. I checked all of their vent areas and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

My chickens used to scratch at my shorts ALL. THE. TIME.
My favorite noises are when they sneeze while eating and purring. When my roo was about 4 weeks old I used to hold him and he always purred and fell asleep on me ❤️
