RE: Mother Nature's Miracles - Pin-Feathers are SO cool!

in #animals7 years ago

Your hens are the sweetest. Even when they look all goofy from molting. I have 3 hens, each is under 1 year old, and all three are laying reliably. When do they start to molt? I haven't noticed any feather loss - they are all quite fluffy! Thanks for saving those hens and for caring for them so well. You're good family for them!

Sort:  

They often don't moult in their first year at all, so they'll do it during their second autumn - by then feathers really have got quite tatty. You'll notice it when they do! :D
