percy049 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Its the time of year again for feathers to be everywhere! All our hens have started, so no eggs for a while , also no cuddles as they're obviously grumpy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlina Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Indeed. My garden looks like there have been some very nasty accidents And one of my hens in particular looks awful. She didn't moult last year (or not that I noticed) so seems to be making up for it. She's so bedraggled I'm worried someone will call the RSPCA!

The Dogmother Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Try adding some Biotin (from equine feed stores) to their pellets; it's the basic constituent in keratin, which is what feathers are made of. Mine sail through their moult with this in their feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
