jakkiwain Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi there My two hens are currently moulting for the first time (they are 7 months old) and as well as there being a load of feathers in the eglu there also is a lot of what looks like white scaly feather quill "bits". Is this usual or is there something wrong? Any advise would be most welcome. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Welcome to the forum. White quills are perfectly normal after a moult. The feather appears in a little white casing, which is eventually shed as the feather unfurls. Nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 yes nothing to worry about - looks like dandruff doesn't it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
