My 17 month old hen is going though a molt and it appears to be a stressful one. She noticeably has lost weight, her comb isn't as red and her face is very pale. She hasn't showed any signs if sickness or disease and is behaving normally. What can I do to help her through her molt?
Any ideas will be appreciated.
 
As always provide her with ample high quality feed and clean water. In addition to this try adding something high in protein to her diet. Many use an animal based dry cat food to supplement during a molt.
