MOULTING SIGNS & STRESS

[barney]

Hi,
We just became the parents of 13 beautiful laying chickens (different breeds).
One of them is growing back her new feathers. She's not as perky as the rest. Is this a normal thing or should I be worrying? Thanks in advance..Chris

no need too worry moulting can be stressful on hens

It can tire them out and it can also keep them from laying while they are moulting.
