Heavy molting going on with the chooks….. our barred rock put the extra effort in, but looks like he11 during the process…..

And a nice fall shot of the coop….

Yep, the hard molt is going on here too bl4. 0 eggs the last few days, and I don't think that will improve anytime soon. The molt last quite a long time here. Hoping the new feathers grow in before the extreme cold hits.

Stay Safe ... bigz

I tilled up my run yesterday and feathers everywhere. I'm still getting 4-8 eggs a day.
I really like your coop on wheels. Before I built mine I was looking at doing the same.
I also took advantage of a really sunny and not windy day and put up my plastic.
I should be able to keep reusing it as long as I take care in taking it down in the spring.

All mine except one hit the hard molt. Now almost finished after a month. Just got 3 eggs the other day. Now im back to zero

Thanks! Our coop is a prefab shed built onto a on hay wagon running gear. Super easy to move it around, which prevents the chooks from killing the grass. We use Premier1 electric fencing to keep the chickens in and the varmints out. We splurged and put remote doors from Chicken Run on too.

After last winter, I would be happy if it was cold without the snow!

I'd rather have the snow than the cold, but they seem to go together.
If the forecast is right Snow tonight
