johnandkymberley Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 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?

oneyolktoanother Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Gas Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yep - up the protein intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Dried mealworms are favourites, and rinsed tuna is also a good source of protein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
