My chickens are still moulting since November!!
Our take
Hey chicken enthusiasts! đ So, my feathered friends have been in a serious feather-free fashion since November! Despite my best effortsâextra protein, fresh water, and a comfy coopâtheyâre still looking a bit like plucked turkeys. Iâve checked for pesky mites and lice, but no luck there! If anyone has cluck-tastic tips for speeding up this molting madness, Iâm all ears (and maybe a few squashed eggs)! Letâs crack this mystery together! đĽâ¨

- What's up here? I've checked and preventatively treated for mites and lice havent found anythe one missing the most feathers is blanch and her skin isn't irritated at all. the sides of my roosters neck are bald in patches and all their feathers look rough. I'm thinking molt as they are about the age for it ( a year old now ) and their egg production has greatly decreased, along with me learning constant light is bad for them, now I keep them on for roughly 13-16 hours a day and turn them off at night. submitted by /u/mindyourownbusiness5 [link] [comments]
- Chickens aren't layingI have 3 chickens, ages 2-4, who stopped laying when they started molting (as expected). But they haven't laid a single egg since November. Is there anything I can do? submitted by /u/Ok-Opinion-8701 [link] [comments]
