Hi,
I am new to raising chickens. I have 6 hens(pullets), 10-12 weeks old.
How much feather loss is normal? We moved them into the coop 2 weeks ago and it seems in the last week there have been a lot of feathers on the coop floor. All the ladies seem to be acting fine, I checked them all and nobody has any noticable bare spots.
When they were in the brooder, I might find 3 or 4 feathers a day... this is WAY more now.
Should I be concerned?
Thanks
