Mum Hen losing lots of feathers
« on: June 21, 2011, 23:21 »
Hi

My hen who is Mother to 7 two week old chicks seems to be losing alot of feathers.  There is almost enough feathers to make a pillow (slight exageration! ::)

Is she going through a mini moult or is it due to the fact that she has not ate properly for ages?

thanks
