Morning. This is my first time dealing with molting chickens. My molting girls are 18 months old. I have one that seems to have been molting for months... slow molting I've read. Will her feathers come in time for the colder weather? And I have another a Leghorn that has blue tinge to her comb now. Is this a normal molt behavior or my neighbour just told me her chickens have lice.. could that be what's causing it? I've also read that you shouldn't handle molting birds but to treat possible lice I'd need to hand them. Will this cause excess pain?
