The feed is usually 15-16% protein pellets and they do get to free range a fair bit. It does feel like the latest batch of feathers have taken a long time to come it but I can’t say I timed it. Will add some fish to the diet and just let whatever happens happen. Still enthusiastic about treats...

3 others in the flock at the moment. No one else showing symptoms

So I’ve got an old hen, at least 8. Trying to help for the kids sake as she’s been a freeloader on the egg front for a while now. She’s been looking like this and just being a bit slow in general. Lost 1/3 of her weight in the last 3 months (2.8kgs down to 2kgs). Kept her in over night last...
