    This displays as neurological. Circling and squat walking bouts. I don't believe it is because of pin feathers specifically. I am going to give a B complex and see how that goes.

    Wondering how this turned out for your girl. I am in the middle of a similar situation. I have 2(hardest molt I have seen in 12 yrs of chicken husbandry) and now possibly a 3rd starting. The 2 hen s over night dropped whole body of feathers and within 24 hrs straryed staggering and crouch...

    Solar heated base for chicken waterer

    Not sure how old this thread...but I came across this for anyone looking for off grid alternative. Seems like its laborius to set up but the science is sensible.

    Topic of the Week - Chicken Behaviour and Flock Dynamics Part 2 - Bullying Behaviour

    I never had obvious or really extreme bullying with the last flock I had. This new flock...oy! I just noticed today a wayndotte chasing and pecking my biggest girl..a buckeye. The Buckeye (Big Boo) is docile and sweet...which I believe is why the Wayndotte (Piper) zeros in on her. I did grab...
