Hi friends! So I’m a bit concerned about my girl Hazel. She has been molting for what seems like forever… months?! A few weeks ago she began molting and then just recently I felt like she was growing back feathers and doing better BUT now I’m noticing more feathers on ground and on floor of her coop. Almost as if she is molting again? I’m especially worried because we’re in a cold snap.. high teens at night and low 30sF during day. I’ve provided vitamins in water (afraid to administer directly due to asphyxiation) and I’ve been giving her more protein treats. Today I noticed for a brief minute her standing with head down to ground. Other than that one moment she has been walking around, chasing younger girls eating and drinking normally. Should I be doing anything different? Should I be worried? Is it normal for them to molt again? Why would she lay her head down for a few seconds? Here are some pics of her. The first one is from a few weeks back and the others from today.
