Needing some advice on molting hens. I have a handful of over 18 month old hens that are going thru a heavy molt right now. They are acting & looking like they are half dead. I have one poor leghorn mix that looks awful. She is basically just standing around. Poor thing only has 4 feathers left in her tail. It has been a white feather heaven all over the runs & coop. I feed my flock fermented All Flock Raiser with a small amount of boss & a small amount of mixed grains. So they are getting quite a bit of protein, but they are still taking a long time to get through this molt. I'm afraid if they lose too much more weight, they are going to get sick. Any additional advice to help them thru this? I have been delaying turning on the light for better egg production from the younger gals that are laying because I want the older girls to get thru their molt first. Its just taking so darn long.

Don't really have any advice, but this year seems to be a particularly hard year for molts. I've seen lots of posts about it from people all over. Poor chickens.

Camping, I was looking at the BIG dog beds and the prices they have on them $50-80 for the size I want. thinking of making my own. I figure 3 of those $3. pillows and put them as-is into a case would be best. any thoughts ?

I've done that before. Make sure the case is on the small side for the pillows, or they will spread out and the dog will end up with no cushion underneath.
