My chickens are moulting. The egg production has dwindled to nothing. Not one egg has filled the laying boxes in over a week. I’m desperate. The chickens look like they have been through a war zone. Like they’ve been in a cat fight or something. Feathers lay everywhere and continue to fall. I rushed off to the feed store and asked for some advice on dealing with moulting birds. I left with a bag of different food. It is supposed to give them a massive protein kick. It’s a feed that show birds eat and it comes at a price. Double the price of a normal bag of laying pellets.It better be worth it. The girls will appreciate a little help. Producing new feathers is stressful and they use a lot of energy in the process. The extra protein will do them well.
