Moulting
« on: July 09, 2017, 19:41 »
Evening all

One of my twelve chickens is moulting like there is no tomorrow and none of the other 11 are showing any signs of it. I have checked her over for mites etc but showing nothing. Housing is all clean as I clean them out everyday. There has been no change in their diet either.
I know they go through their annual moult but it seems a. It early as they came to POL about 4 months ago.

Any thoughts would be greatly received

Alex

A couple of mine are moulting already, so I don't think there is anything wrong  :)

It makes more sense to moult in the he hot weather rather than wait until the winter is upon us....

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!
