Baggins Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I wonder if anyone can help please ..... Our original Omlet girl, Pepper (now over 3 years old), has had a dreadful moult this year - her first ever. Not only does she look dreadful but she is behaving rather strangely .... doing a very odd impersonation of John Cleese's Monty Python walk, and often walking backwards with her neck down towards the ground. In all other ways, she is behaving normally - eating, drinking, preening, scratching ..... Any ideas, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Send her for an audition to the Ministry of Silly Walks? Sorry, I don't know a lot about moulting chickens but it could be her hormones are playing about and making her do funny things. If she is still eating and drinking and generally looking happy I probably wouldn't worry too much. I know that protein is good for moulting chickens in the form of a tin of tuna to give her a bit of a boost and help her regain her duvet.
