Is she picking her own feathers, or are other hens pulling her feathers out? If other hens are bothering her, check out the product Rooster Booster. It is a cream that you can put on her feathers that will repel the other hens.

But I would add even one more excellent reason to have chickens, and it kind of goes with the fertilizer reason, and that’s because chickens are absolute garbage disposals. When I got rid of my chickens, the thing I missed the most was being able to toss all my yard clippings, household leftovers, weeds from the garden, leaves in the fall, and a hundred other things over the fence to the chickens. And I would know that in no time at all, those girls would turn that stuff into compost. That’s the main reason I decided to get chickens again, and why it’s even a great idea to keep chickens once they move past egg laying age. Thanks for the great article.

I found a dead snake in my yard, which I believe they killed (though I didn’t see it). They do eat lizards though and I’ve seen that.
