[chickenbuttsowhat]

today me and i husband moved some chickens out of quarantine my hens faught with them just a lil but nothing big but everyone is molting so during all the fuss feathers fell out then some of my hens turned around and started eating the feathers

is that normal what can i do to stop them if its not?? should i be freaking out? lol

Very normal. Extra protein. Not to worry unless it's excessive (which would indicate something amiss in their diet).
