No laying, lots of feathers strewn around?

[akcskye]

I haven't had eggs from my 4 ladies (the adults who have been laying since March) in about a week now.

None appear to be egg bound or in distress.

I am noticing a LOT of feathers on the ground in the hen house and in the runs...not the little one's feathers, but the "moms".

Are we moulting now?

Sure sounds like it.

Yes I agree, sure sounds like the autumn moult, they will get their nice warm underfeathers for winter.

Yep...It looks like a feather factory has exploded...
