Feathers in the chicken run
« on: July 10, 2010, 08:05 »
Loads of feathers in the run this morning, how do I work out what's going on?   I'm not even sure which hen they're from.  There were some feathers yesterday, but more this morning.

 I have let them out, and now there are some feathers wafting about the garden.  I've not seen any squabbling whilst they've been out, could it be moulting?

I would say that your girls are moulting. It looked like a feather pillow had exploded in the run when mine had moulted. :)
