Daisy & Hattie Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I have had my two hens since september and they will be a year old in May. One of them is already moulting. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Yes. Two of mine had partial moults a year ago when they were less than a year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut12 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 We got our first two in June last year (18 weeks old). Kim, our pepperpot, is just finishing her moult. She did look a state for a while. We've been giving her rinsed tuna and poultry spice. She has not laid an egg for a while now and has been quite feisty but yesterday she started squatting again when we come close, so I guess this means she will be laying again soon.
