I have 4orps and 4slw they are 28 weeks today.
We are getting 1 egg a day and there are 2 hens with big bright red wattles. And I know any day we should be getting more eggs.
Today I went to give them some cracked corn and noticed one of my SLW had a patch of feather missing near her tail. What's up? It this molting? And can they molt before they lay?
We added a light in the coop for 4a.m.-8a.m. to add some daylight to maybe get them to lay.
I am getting inpatient...
