    Help! Molting hen walking around in a crouched position.

    Elevated dust bath

    I usually just give them half a bale for that area its 6ft x 20ft. Because the yard slopes it all ends up on the tire side. It slope front to back and side to side.

    Elongated long egg shaped

    Yes I have plenty of oyster shells out. I heard you can give feather fixer year round. I am thinking the feed might have something to do with it. I just switch them to this a month ago because they are molting. Thing is I only have one that is having issues. The rest are all fine.
