Feather plucking seems to be such a problem, with a lot of people.

If I wasn't such a softie should would probably be in the pot by now

It's strange but when it first started she only did it to my white star and left a blooming wound which wound powder sorted out. Now they all have stick legs from lack of feathers. She tore a big patch of skin off the underside of one of my Gold Stars , which never bled and wound powder once again sorted that out.
I wistfully look at pictures of chickens with lovely fluffy bottoms these days

Unsure of what to try now, I've done the Johnsons pecking spray (which dries out so quick) and gentian violet, and the bumpa bit ended up only in one nostril, so its now off. We keep the coop door open now due to the warm weather and it opens into the run. Then they are in the garden at 1ish after I'm home from work. Have been hanging things in the run and coop too.
Anything else I can try? They try to sit down and chill out and she's there pecking away. When they are dust bathing I have to confine her to the run, so they can do it in peace
