heat stimulate molt?

[nuchickontheblock]

just curious if the heat can stimulate a molt? I have one girl who finished a full molt about 2 months ago, but is molting again this week. It was unusually hot here last week when she started.

I don't think it can cause a molt. I could be wrong.

Have you done a thorough check for mites?

According to this website (https://www.backyardchickens.com/keeping-chickens/does-high-temperature-affect-egg-production/)...the heat can cause a stress-induced molt. I just know I have feathers all over everywhere here!
