My chickens are eating their own fallen feathers

Yes. They do that. It's normal.

 

[ChemicalchiCkns]

What are you feeding them, and how often?

What are you feeding them, and how often?

Wheat,corn or sunflower twice per day

You might want to find a source of higher grade protein to feed such as fish or soy. Consuming more than just a few feathers is a sign of not enough protein in the diet.

I agree, I think they need more protein
