Unsecure chicken perches

[johnandkymberley]

Hi all, have been noticing my girls are rapidly loosing feathers, some more than others. All my girls are laying atm. I have given them raw garlic t-the smell but they thought it was yummy! have wormed and powdered them and gave them some acv and some poultry tonic. I have only given these as a boost there is nothing wrong with any of my chooks. Anything else i can do? i cant seem to shake off the fact they may be cold on their bottoms - i know they are probably not but they just look so bare! Laelia has lost feathers on her head! bless her, thanks in advance xxx p.s my white stars havent started moulting, any reason for that?

one of mine is also having a big moult, just make sure to give them extra protein in their diet, thats great that your already putting tonic in the water

Yep - up the protein intake.

Dried mealworms are favourites, and rinsed tuna is also a good source of protein.
