The chicken may have died from picking. This happens when the hens are bored, overcrowded, or have lack of protein in their diet so they result to cannibalism, beginning with feather picking, or plucking the feathers from other chickens. Another reason is from breeding. A rooster may find a "favorite" hen and mate her continually, mounting on her back each time and wearing the feathers out.
The growth hormone that triggers the growth of feathers in most common chickens is called biatenophase. It is not present in unfertilized chicken eggs. Unless the egg is fertilized and does not hatch than this is not possible.Dr. John Lee M.V.
Them are some nice feathers.
The left side of a chicken typically has more feathers because chickens tend to sleep with their head under their left wing, causing more wear and tear on the feathers on that side.
It will not be able to fly with no feathers. Feathers keep a bird warm. If its feathers are gone it will die of cold. Most importantly feathers help a bird to escape from predators.
well if the chicken is gone most of the day and then comes out and franticly eats and runs back to her hidding place It means she gone brudy and is ether laying on fertile eggs or thinks she laying on fertile eggs
Most people have no chicken in their back pocket. Storing chicken in your back pocket is very unhealthy and could make you sick.
Coyote, fox or a dog will kill a chicken and carry it off. Most large predators will make the kill and carry the bird elsewhere for consumption. Animals such as weasels, raccoons etc will often eat the kill on the spot thereby leaving evidence (feathers).
most of them but they will be back soon
During an aggressive attack, most chickens will grab the comb or head feathers of the other chicken to pin it down on the ground. Constant bullying will result in loss of feathers around the top head/comb area. These are often short but often attacks and may go unnoticed Also mites/lice can cause scratching which results in loss of feathers. Wire runs can also cause this as the chicken rubs its head against the wire mesh, especially if its pecking on something the opposite side.
After the mature egg hatches, most of the whites are gone. As the chick matures more, the bones and muscles develop and the feathers grow out. The chick is now completely different from the egg. It's called growing up, and you can't say that nothing changes physically at that period in life.
i think goose feathers
most of them come from chickens (or similar birds) that are bread specifically to have long tail feathers. They have long legs so the feathers don't drag and are usually in their own cages so they don't fight or damage each others feathers. They have really good lives.. until their feathers are gone. Then the farmers don't need them anymore... whoever wrote this is the best
