shoura Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 One of my girls has started moulting, grey feathers everywhere. Is it normal for it to happen at this time of year? I have had them since august last year and none of them have had a full-on moult since I've had them, until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 It is very common at this time of year, and nothing to worry about. Some extra protein in the form of mealworms will give them a boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 3 of my Pure Breeds are in moult at the moment, so no eggs from them for a long while..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yep, one of mine is gently showering feathers all over the place at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 meal worms, theres an idea, they love them, poor Saffy has never really properly feathered up, I'll try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I have 2 which seem to have been moulting on and off for about 6 months! I can see the sense of moulting in the summer, but with winter coming along? silly things, chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madchickenlady Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Two of mine have finished moulting, one is well in to moult, and the dreaded ASBO Chicken has just started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
