Aw your chickens sounds like a good team. Helping the molting one keep warm lol
I'm gna try deworm them. I haven't seen anymore worm poop so far so fingers crossed.
She's going into moly at a bad time because now in London it's getting real cold and rainy-er and my coop doesn't have heating.
I give her some meal worms as protein and some cottage cheese I usually give them eggs 1-2 times a week but will bump it up.
As far as eating, when I came out this...
Don't have anywhere to have it tested but I can keep an eye out on her poop.
So far she's molted all around the neck and till day before was laying regularly with clean eggs.
My girls molting but also brooding?? Do chickens brood at this time of the year? Was sat there puffed up on an egg. Not sure if it's hers but I pulled her out and she had wings spread and stationary broody like.
I give eggs about 1-2 times a week since I saw this but I'll have to visit the store to gets some rations then.
I have organic layer pellets I guess the protein level is average.
Thanks for the advice.
I got a buff who's been on the receiving end of pecks (to the butt too) but she's lost a lot of feathers too.
I did see my black rock pecking her feathers around the neck (maybe lack of protein) and tried to remedy that. But from the pics is this a case melting or stress/bullying?
I hope so.
When I bought this purple spray and the anti peck they seemed to have stopped yesterday but this morning they pecked her again in the morning while they were in the pen. Now they're all out again and they don't bother her. :/
Weird creatures lol
Haha that would be cool but she stopped laying about a week ago. I wouldn't mind some blue eggs (fake Easter eggers lol).
Today it seemed they pecked her again :he
I brought her out the pen so she can play in the grass while the other two watch.
Couldn't get ably-Kote but got her a substitute and some anti-peck spray. They haven't pecked her since I let them out a few hours ago so fingers crossed.
Since I prayed her butt purple we've all been laughing out arses off :bun:lau
