Hi All
One of my Barnevelder chickens have lost 90% of her feathers
I have 4 of them and they have molted but this week one seems to have lost most of hers
Ive looked for lice and mites on her but cant see anything

we don't have roosters and she seems to be eating and drinking OK
Cheers Lucas

Sometimes chickens have light molts and sometimes really heavy molts. I hope that's what it is. I think some chicken vitamins and extra protein would help.

Thanks Seminolewind
Dusted Pepper just in case yesterday and none of the chickens have been laying of late
so here's hoping

Hi all
Well the good news is Peppers feathers are growing back after what looks like a heavy molt
Thanks All
