Hi all 99 ,
I'm a newbie henkeeper, with 4 lovely girls who I've had for about 7 months now and received at POL.
One of them, a white leghorn, who is usually top of the pecking order, has started moulting, feathers everywhere, stretching out her wings and flapping about a lot! I'm a bit worried though, as her appetite has decreased, she is avoiding the other hens, her comb is looking paler and her eyes just aren't as bright as usual. Is this normal behaviour for during moulting or could there be something else going on as well?
