What Happens When Chickens Molt?

This article was a good summary of the molt, and why it happens. I learned some new and interesting facts about it too!

Thanks again, especially liked the extra nugget about rating layers by the way they molt!

Thanks, I learned a few things!

That was helpful and informative. I would love more pics of birds in molt, of what they look like when they're just starting to grow feathers in. Okay, and now I want a recipe for molt muffins. Thanks for the article!

Clearly and matter of factly presented. Great illustrative pictures and diagrams.

This article has everything you need to know the first time you experience your flock (or even an individual bird) going through a molt.

Thank you for a very informative article. I wish I'd read it BEFORE my birds started molting. I would have been better prepared .. and they would have been much more comfortable going into this mess. We're good to go, now, though ... thanks again!

Great write-up, very informative.
