Best Answer

Chickens go through a yearly renewal of feathers. This is called molting or "The Molt".

An otherwise healthy hen will start and finish this process in about 6 weeks. Chickens need extra nutrition to accomplish this quickly and to produce well formed and strong feathers.

It really depends on the breed of chicken. It could take anywhere from a week to a month.

If a rooster loses his long tail feathers will they grow back?

Yes. The long tail feather often drop off during the first molt when all the roosters feathers are replaced by new one's. The new long feathers will take more time to regrow so be patient, they will come back. Many roosters lose the long feathers due to picking from the hens while they roost at night

Why don't chickens explode?

I'm sure it is not exploding, especially all the time. It would only take one explosion, and the chicken would be dead. However, the chicken could be molting. When a chicken molts, it loses many of its feathers in a short period of time. The chicken might look a little rough for a while, until the new feathers grow in. The feathers that dropped all over the coop may look like an explosion took place.
