    New Chicken Owner Questions

    Hi guys! So I've had four two-year-old chickens for about two weeks now and just have some general questions about their looks/behaviors. All four are red sex-link hens. Okay, so the first thing I've noticed/questions is some missing feathers on only one hen's lower neck/upper breast region...
