Fed on a 50/50 mix of Heygates Layers Pellets and Argo Poultry Mix Complete. The only extras I give them are cabbage, kale, squash, apples, pears etc but not every day and not big portions. Once a day they will get less than a palm full of scratch between them to get them back in to the run when I shake my tin so that I can lock up.
There are feathers in the run from Scrawny and she is definitely laying. The only feathers in the egg boxes are little fluffy ones from around her bum but we are talking two or three not handfulls. The amount of feathers in the run are of sufficient quantity to cover a neck so it doesn't seem like the others are pecking her to eat them.
She is a Barnevelder and the other two are Welsummers and the amount of eggs being layed have not changed in quantity or size.
I have read up on moulting but from what I have seen it is the wrong time of year and she is to young at just under a year, I got all 3 of them around June last year. If it is relevant she was the first to start laying and began the middle of November last year. If it is moult maybe starting to lay in November has caused it as I was not expecting her to start laying until earlier this year although saying that the Wellsummers started in December.
It is pretty much just around her neck, ignore what I said previously about it being around her vent a bit as I have had a closer look.
Generally she is fine and is preening herself as much as the others. Appearance wise you could argue that she has the appearance of a cat that is starting to go in to moult whereby when you look at them they look fluffy'ish and a bit unkempt and in need of a brush.
