Monty14 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Milly, my lovely ISA Brown, started moulting about 2 weeks ago but has started laying eggs again. She has new feather shafts coming through and is eating fine (gave her some extra protein) but I've never seen chicken start laying midway through the moult before. Is there anything I can do to assist her with her moult as she does a look a bit skinny compared to the others (lack of feathers allowing)? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty14 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Milly is growing her feathers quite quick and I think now has a bit of respite now Mabel the Speckledy and Daisy the Orpington have started laying again. She's has had two days rest, plenty of protein and looks a whole lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty14 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Milly is looking a whole lot better now. Gave her extra protein and although she's the skinniest chicken of the lot, she now has a good crop of feathers and laying great eggs. Guess she is a chicken 'on the go'!

Plum Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Good girl Milly. A tonic like lifeguard may help her cope with both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
