Turkey Molting! Should I worry?

[FLOWERPOT]

My Jersey buff hen is molting now!
It is going to be in the 20's this week and for some time to come.
Isnt it the wrong time of year for molting?

 

[FLOWERPOT]

Is she gonna freeze?

She'll probably be fine....unless she molts super heavy and gets really visually bald it probably is nothing to worry about. Does she sleep inside at night?

 

[FLOWERPOT]

Yes, she sleeps inside the coop with the others, but she is visibly bald on her breast area.

To cold for her to be molting naturally, she may have some bug infectation. Last year we had a problem, this year we dusedt the indoor pens with soot and ash from the fire place, and have added garlic to there water. (Wife read some place about the garlic, no Idea if it really works) So far the turkey here are ok, but a few Chickens have molted.

If she sleeps with others she may be ok.
