24-28 week molt??? Question

[aart]

I give them layer feed and about a cup of scratch per day.

Are they all laying?
What is the protein percentage of the layer feed?
Might want to cut out the scratch and feed an animal protein type treat instead.
Tho even higher protein might not stop it...have a few bare butted girls.

Agrees that it looks like picking, hard to catch them at it unless you watch them 24/7.

I got them as chicks. They have been together since weeks 1. Did the math and I believe they are 32 weeks as of today. I give them layer feed and about a cup of scratch per day. I have 17. I observed them a lot and they are nice to each other. All seems to roost in the same place. And I think it is the pic that makes it look like that but I’ll check tomorrow.

Post is called molt because there doesn’t seem to be and sickness.

yes, they are all laying as far as I can tell. I get about 12-14 eggs a day. The feed says %16 protein
