    Bald chest and stomach, eggs being eaten or not laying as much

    To be honest, I found it on google... it looks very much to me like some ex-battery hens that I bought a few years ago who had been caged but that is pretty much the "full molt" I was thinking of which was why I originally asked how long it had been since they molted.

    Chicken Barn HELP

    Sounds Good ! I don't usually pay TOO much attention to the roosts. And you've probably got it covered but I must just say if I were you, I'd boot the chickens out for a couple of hours with the pyremthrin!

    Bald chest and stomach, eggs being eaten or not laying as much

    It sounds like you have plenty of room in your coop. How long ago did they molt and please don't take offence but is their bedding clean? What I do when my birdies stop laying as well, is I give them a load of poultry fattener for a few days. That generally works as a sort of "Berocca Boost!"...

    Chicken Barn HELP

    As far as I'm aware, lice live on the birds themselves, but as the birds move around and lay down etc. the lice are transported onto the bedding. Were it me, I would be cleaning out the barn as well as you could to be sure. (unless you use the deep litter method and then the top layer or two...

    Feathering

    I know that they look a way younger than they are but they really are six weeks I promise. Here is a picture of the runner parents, sorry it's a mess around them but a combination of heavy rain and wet ducks does that around here! Drake in the middle. The babies, we have two yellow, two dark...
