This is our andalusian hen. Over the last couple weeks I've noticed increased feather loss and it seems like she might be loosing weight (or it could be the appearance to the loss of feathers). She's eating fine, but just prior to this stopped laying eggs. She's super fast, so to catch her to look for other symptoms would be great- if I know what to look for! Thanks for your feedback

This hen is experiencing a tough molt, and she did appear to shrink.









She was fat and sassy a month or so later. I usually increase the protein in their diet during molt. You can add other protein sources such as cooked meat, cooked eggs, mealworms and so forth.


Hope this helps.
