AndyRoo Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hello all, Have anyone else's hens suddenly started moulting? Mind seem to have chosen a very late part of the year to start. One of our girls is almost bald at the moment! Is there anything I can do for them, other than poultry tonic? Thanks, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 It's about that time of year, just as the weather changes! As long as they're on a decent quality feed they'll get through it fine but you can give them a helping hand with a tonic or dried mealworms for a protein boost.

AndyRoo Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Mine always seem to moult much later in the season than I would expect them to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Pickwick is just done and Ginger too. Merel still has some new neck feathers coming through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been a bit better this year. Last year two of them decided to moult just as it started snowing, and then instead of moulting in spring, the rest decided to moult during the heatwave - maybe they just wanted to cool off? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
