She actually let me have a really good look @ her today & she's obviously been molting for some time~ longer & harder than I thought. The new pin feathers are coming through nicely though so hopefully we are about done with the worst of it.I’m glad you are getting quality time together Ribh.
How is Lottie doing this morning?
Just a comment about heavy moulting hens and pin feathers. One should try not to handle chickens at the early stage on pin feathers. If a pin feather breaks they bleed and don't stop.
Thanks, Shad. I didn't know but I was really careful & very gentle. I don't normally handle her. She chooses whether or not to eat from my knee.
