Feather eating problem

[AraucanaAnnie]

Hi! I have recently noticed that my chickens (14 and 16 weeks) have started to eat feathers. I don't see it a lot, but I don't if it will hurt them. What do I do? Thanks!

Eating feathers normally means they need more protein. Give them some diced meat scraps, cooked eggs, tuna to give them a boost in protein.

Great question! Mine started doing this too and I had no idea what was going on. Thanks for the info!
