Back Feathers
How long does it take for chicken feathers to grow back?

One of my chickens that I'm entering in the fair ended up getting pecked around her tail. Her butt is a bit bald now. I bought Blue Kote, which I'm applying on her once a day to help speed up her feather growing process. The fair's in a month and a week. Do you think her feathers will be grown back by then? I need to know because if not I'm pulling her out for this year.

Hi,

Once a chicken feather has been plucked or pulled out, it generally takes from 4 to 8 weeks to grow back to the full size, depending on which part of the body they are from. Wing Feathers take the longest, while breast and underneath take a shorter time.

If this is a show bird, the thing you should worry about is, all the new feathers will be different from the older feathers around this area, and any judge would notice this straight away, and you'll lose valuable points over it.

I personally would not enter this bird and choose another one instead. If your going to show chickens, it's best to keep them away from others, then this problem would not arise.

Good luck.
