Heaven knows.I have one Jubilee Orpington, named Widget, hatched mid-June 2021. She hasn't ever done a "full on" molt like my Australorps. It's more of a constant shedding/growing. (She's my only speckled "suspect"bird.)
The first time (last winter), I thought her brown coloring got darker, but I wasn't sure. It could have been the old feathers were faded. I'll be sure to let you all know if she has more spots after she's done this time.
She's also been the only one to go broody. Which she did 3 times last summer, but not when it would have been handy and she could have raised chicks!She's always "gotten back to work" quickly... except last time. That was August, and she called it done for the season and hasn't laid since. Then to prove her point, she tossed off a few feathers every day, as if to say, "Well, I'm busy doing this, and I can't multitask!"
I need to hear more about chia for this... What does it do?
All I do know is that when I take these in my drink serials, soup or sauces I sleep the whole night through. It's said that it helps to reduce the sugar you have ingested plus helps with hormone balance, heart and constipation.
I am know taking flaxseed and linseed with the chia seeds in my yogurt and soups. Princess has all of the above a few times a week and my dog and cat about five times a week usually in the morning feeds with turmeric and ginger powder.
