I have a Blue Andalusian that started her molt in the late summer (August or September). Her feathers are mostly grown in, but her comb and wattle are still shriveled. She doesn't squat and hasn't had an egg since the molt started- at least 4 months! Is this normal? Anything I can do to move things along?
You can up the protein by giving meat scraps, tuna, cat food (in moderation, it has lots of sodium) to help them get through the molt. I have a couple stubborn girls. (my barred rock and my buttercup) They were the first to start their molts, and are still not laying. Other girls started molting after them, and have already started laying again.
