Robbo1962 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi Should moulting be begining to start? I have noticed more feathers and I am worried that someone is being picked on! Is anyone else starting the moult! Thanks Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 It depends on the age of your hens really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogs Too Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I too have found an alarming amount of feathers floating around my garden! My four girls are about 18mths old and am not at all worried as i have been told this is about normal for a first moult. All I am doing is a bit of poultry Spice and that should be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chili pepper Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 one of my ex batts who is about 3 years old and hasn't laid for about 6 months now has been moulting for about 2 weeks now. In all others aspects she is absolutely fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 One of my Miss Pepperpots is moulting for the first time, she is 15 months old. I am feeding her a small amount of tuna cat food to give her extra protein, she is fine otherwise. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
