I am getting a bit concerned about one of my bantams undergoing a molt. She just finished her second brood. Only one chick hatched and it was eaten by another hen. Broody girl is just over 1 year old and has had a number of false starts where I broke her in addition to her 2 broods I let her have.
All the stress of brooding and molting can't be good for her. What can I do to help her through? Anything to supplement? She wasn't supposed to have her first molt until this winter. Will she molt again? Today I got home and she had no tail feathers left. Could this be feather pulling?
