molt is on.

Second time for my girls. Last year it was close to Christmas before eggs production fell off with feathers. Eggs all but stopped this week and feather are all over the coop and run. I see no big bald spots yet. My barred rock was naked last Christmas. No sign of her dropping feathers yet but all my buffs have no tails at all. They look like kiwi birds. My ISA Browns are flat chested. electrolyte water and high protein treats. maybe egg production will be back sooner than last year.

As a rule, the winter dearth of eggs gets longer each year.
