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

Yes, a rooster's long tail feathers will grow back through a process called molting. Molting is a natural shedding and regrowth cycle that typically occurs once a year. During this time, the rooster's old feathers will fall out and new ones will gradually grow in their place.

A rooster that has lost its comb will not be able to grow the comb back. Roosters and hens both do not have the ability to grow body parts back if they become decayed or injured.

How do you treat a chicken's back where the rooster has worn her feathers off?

To treat a chicken's back where rooster wear has worn off feathers, first separate the hen from the rooster to allow her feathers to regrow. Clean the area with mild soap and water to prevent infection. Apply an antibacterial ointment and consider using a chicken saddle to protect the area while feathers regrow.


Why do you think the brood patch is featherless?

If you are referring to the "saddle" which is the middle of the chickens back near the tail, it is from rooster friction. It is where the rooster stands on her back during the mating process and the feathers wear away. Don't worry, they will grow back during the next molt.

Is it okay for Polish chickens have bald spots?

Most likely your hens are molting but if the bald spot is on the saddle...the area on the back just above the tail, what is happening is the rooster is wearing away the feathers from mating with the hen. This is normal and will last until the next molting period when the hen will not allow the rooster to mount her and her feathers will re-grow.
