I have 5 hens all about the same age, I don't know for sure but about 12-15 months old. One of my welsummers looks like she was put into the dryer, about 50% of her feathers are gone, even tail feathers and when I looked at her yesterday all of them are coming in again in new follicles. Is this a moult? Can I help her in any way? She looks horrible, but understand that it is pretty normal for that to be the case when a moult is present...isn't she pretty early? None of the other ones look as bad or bad at all, I don't even think they have started their moult yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Kycklingmamma
