Hi,
I just got four 6 month old Isa Browns today, and they are all moulting from the chest, and their tail feathers look pretty ruffled, I know that chickens go through a regular moult, but do they usually do it at the same time? and from the same places?
the seller said it was normal but now i beg to differ, they all seem ok, a bit ruffled from the trip, but all losing feathers, I thought they may have been overcrowded in there last coop, as I've been watching them and none of them have pecked out any feathers, they were in a flock of 16.
just wondering if i should be worried, or just watch them for a while.
what is a good source of protein to help them grow feathers back?
