Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Nothing to worry about, it's just the quill sheaths of new feathers being shed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks - that's answered my question too! I would imagine that this 'cigarette ash' is more noticeable in an eglu because of the tray than a traditional hen house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
