I'm prepping my Orp hen for show in mid-July, and the breeder I got her from told me that she was in a molt, and that to force her through it quickly enough for her to be in show shape I need to withold food and keep it dark. My questions are:
1. Has anyone else forced a molt?
2. Does this information sound right?
3. How much feed should I withold; all or some?
