Thanks so much!!!! That's what I figured, I just hate to see anything suffer. We have two barred rock hens and one rooster, I was going to move them to another coop (our first coop we know call the multi purpose room!!) because I wanted to start the process of collecting fertile eggs from them...
Glad to read this, we have about 30 chickens and I have one Barred Rock that looks horrible, I am leaning towards molting because she has been slowly looking worse over time, and none of the others are showing any signs that it could be something else. I just never know it took so long. Poor...
