I've got an odd problem with our 3 year old white Ameraucauna.
She hasn't layed in a couple months - which I don't expect during a moult. But she has started moulting much ealier than my Rhode Island Reds of the same age - and the weird thing is that she seems to be continually losing and regrowing feathers over the past 2.5 months.
So while I miss her eggs because they are my favorite (better yolk to eggwhite ratio), I'm a bit concerned with her because she doesn't seem to be completing her moult, just keeps on losing feathers.
Her feathers look exceptional now, she's nice and clean which is unusual because she loves her dust bath.
Is this a concern? Do I just wait it out? Any suggestions on what to do with a chicken that seems to be stuck in a continual moult?
