Unsecure chicken perches

[Red girl]

Hi

Over this past week i have noticed my Light Sussex is losing alot of her feathers. She has just stopped being broody and still is not back into laying so i think she is now going into a moult. She is over a year old and my first girl to do this but from what i have read about the moult she is doing it in reverse Her bottom is now quite bald and she has lost most of her tail feathers also some of her wing feathers.

I have checked and there is no mites or lice and otherwise she seems ok with her comb getting back to the normal red as it was very pale when she was broody.

Do you think she is moulting? Any advice would be helpful

Thank you

It sounds like she is just moulting

 

I'd make sure she is getting plenty of protein (can give dried mealworms or rinsed tuna) and maybe give Organic Seaweed supplement, full of amino acids to give a vitamin and protein boost!
