Thanks. The idea of removing the feeder and seeing how the react the next day is a good one. They loved the meal worms and the crickets so I think we will continue to buy those for them.
Please bear with me, I have read through a bunch of the information regarding what to feed your hens while moulting, but I would like some advice still please.
