Why isn't it growing feathers?
Are you sure that it isn't just having a long moult?
Can you post a pic?

Can chooks get beak and feather disease same as parrots, if yes it should be culled if vet checked and correct. Hopefully just a heavy moult.

Any photos of the hen Andrew Holt? This link has some knitting patterns for chook jumpers (no, not Fivla in her cardie, that's Thordale's Shetland Pony). https://www.pinterest.com.au/50frames/chicken-jumpers/
It's not the greatest idea unless there is a good reason - some more information might lead to better advice though.
