TheCoop Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Over the last couple of months, I've been finding lots of discarded feathers in the run. I know that chickens 'moult', but I'm not sure when they should grow back. Barbara has a very scrawny neck at the moment (you can see the skin) and Diana has only one tail feather left (the big long ones). Dolly pulls a few out now & then, but see is constantly broody, so I put it down to that. Is this something slightly more sinister or something I shouldn't worry about???

Egluntyne Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'd check them for lice and mites just to be on the safe side, but apart from that, as you say, probably a mini moult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
