Then, I got really worried as I went out the backdoor and down the steps and saw a bunch of feathers! Oh, no! Had there been an attack?

their feathers and new ones will grow in, yearly. During that time,
which can be a few months, they do not lay eggs. Here is a great
description of exactly what goes on:

She loves to eat kale leaves and seeds. And I picked another Poona Kheera cucumber today:

glad your chicken is ok! one of my friends has chickens and it has been so hot here that she had to move them inside for a while. :( Your garden looks great!
Those cucumbers look fabulous! We will have chickens in our new place in OR, so we can swap stories :)
