It has crossed my mind that she may not be eating enough to get the nutrients for the amount of energy required to grow new feathers so fast. She still eats a bit of everything I put in the feeders (layer, starter mash and a fermented grain mix) but only when there are no other chickens around.I have read that it can be a nutritional issue.
I have been giving the three ex-batt's a daily portion of scrambled eggs, with sardines ever other day. I will add almond and walnuts.
I might add some of the human B vitamin complex I bought for Blanche but didn't use, as her mobility is getting worse.
We are off to my partner's mother for the dreaded Beaujolais Nouveau. So just pictures from today. The chickens did not leave the netted yard even though it was a warm sunny beautiful day.
Piou-piou going to lay at 6.30 in pitch dark - sound up
