I inspect my flock monthly for pests so it’s easy to know whether they’re molting or not.
I feed 20% all flock year round, but do provide extra protein when they molt. Mealworms are available live as fish bait, live crickets are available at the pet store. Canned salmon is a favorite too.
I also use a towel to hold anyone while they molt, but try not to handle them at all during this time. They’re grumpy and handling them just makes it worse.
