Our Barred Rock went broody after getting 2 chicks (4 weeks old). Laid by the divider fence. She did that for over a week, stopped laying eggs, last week she laid every other day. Friday evening started seeing her feathers in the run. Saturday more feathers. Checked her for lice & mites, didn't see any. Checked vent for anything unusual, nothing there. Comb and legs look normal color. Even did the double sided tape in the coop, nothing but a spider on the tape. Feathers coming from back end. She was checked for worms 3 months ago, no worms. Could this be a Mini Molt brought on by the broodiness?
Pictures of the feathers I cleaned out of the run tonight.
