Feathers not growing back

[Lindamaeb]

We have two hens who are at the top of the pecking order. Literally. They’ve pulled feathers from all the others. We tried using a no peck application but that didn’t help. Five of the hens wear aprons. One has had an apron on for a number of months…. Looked at her today and she’s still featherless …. Is this normal?

Most lost feathers generally won't grow back in until right before the fall molt.

Agreed. Normal they don’t grow back until they have their big annual molt. For many that isn’t until fall.

You need to put pinless peepers on the two top hens. The peepers will stop them from feather picking.
