Yeah, but I was told they won't molt in their first year... And if she just started laying she must not be too old. She shouldn't expect a molt until next year around this time.

rosey is 25 weeks today.

I don't think she will molt this year. From what I have been told, chickens don't molt in their first year.
I hope she gets better soon. It is crazy how attached you can get to these birds. Who would have thought?
She is a such a beautful girl. It's ashame she has to go through this.

ok its about 30 to 45 minutes before the girls usuall go to bed. rosey is laying down should i disturb her with a drink of water and some food before she goes to bed for the night or let her rest?

Sounds like you are a great chicken mama and really doing all you can to take good care of her. Patience and prayers. Wishing you all the best and Happy Anniversary!

If she's already eaten alot today then let her rest.​

 

[the3ofus+oursixchicks]

well i havent feed her alot. she has eaten about 10 grass hoppers and about a cup and half of the noodles. oh yeah and about 2 crackers

Feed her some more to see what she likes and what she does not like. Offer her a variety of food and morsels like plain cooked spaghetti, rice, bugs, boiled egg and other things that she may like.

I don't think chickens ever get full! I would give her some more. Does she has chicken food and water available at all times? I would think she probably should.
