I think I'll have a go at the muffins but unfortunately I don't have maple syrup. I think I've got the rest of the ingredients.

using a real small amount just add a bit of almond or vanilla can do the same I would guess

My poor moulting Polish hen.

I used to make bread when the girls were little. I haven't done it for years. I get my bread from some guys down the track and it's really good. They bake it in a proper 'Forn de Pa' which is a traditional Catalan bread oven.

Poor girl. That looks like a serious molt.

Yes, they are all blowing off feathers all over the place. She is about the worst I think. Never had one look like that before.

Quite often the hens having a major moult here go right off eating the commercial feed and forage for stuff they don't tend to eat normally. I've assumed that they find something that in some unknown way helps with the discomfort of moulting or assists with feather regrowth. It's not just the odd one that does this. I've seen it a lot here now.

I am going to cook up some eggs for them as a protein boost. Afraid to let these girls out since the area isn't fenced. We sometimes see stray dogs.
