Molting flock ?'s

[PhlyinPheBee]

Is there something extra I should be giving my flock during this time of molt? There are about 4 hens so far and LOTS of feathers all over the yard!!!

Extra protein is helpful. Gamebird feed is usually higher protein........you can give them cat food for treats, extra "meat" treats, etc. Molting is hard on the body, so lots of good food is a good idea

Thank you. I will go and get them game bird feed after work!! They will love a new treat!

Yup, lots of protein.
