Hello people.
Have a question about molting. We have 5 hens. 3 Wyandotte (2.5 years old) and 2 Sussex hens. (1 year old)
The 3 Wyandotte all went through the molting period early winter and are beautiful chickens.
But both the Sussex hens are looking really scruffy. Lol.
I don't have the feeling they sick. They look healthy. (Besides the feathers) They look happy, are active, good eaters. Make those cute chicken noises etc.
Any of my fellow Sussex owners have the same experience?
Is it possible that the first big molting period still has to come?
Greeting,
Arne
