Feather Fixer ~ Good for molting hen(s)?

[TwoCrows]

Oh, and if forgot to mention... what makes it worse is she’s the only molter, she’s all by herself in this stage

Oooh yes, single molters are always a target.

I never used feather fixer, but looking at it, it is 18% protein and has calcium and trace minerals. I've never had my chickens molt. I did not do it on purpose, and I'm not sure why. I feed my girls BOSS and fax seed. They also get all the leftovers from the garden and mulberries in season and I dry and feed back the egg shells to them. We feed an organic layer crumb and they get oyster shells free choice. No extra light in the winter. I hope this helps in some way. I'm thinking it is the extra fat and calcium they get, but I don't know that for certain.

Update: Big Heifer seems to be doing well on her own (pictures on the previous page on this thread, btw)

I’d say this is an improvement
Her feathers are aiming in nicely

(She was moving, so I’m sorry it’s blurry)
