Hi
I have seen a few of you mention moulting - is this regular, occur at a certain time of year?
I have been on my hols for a week, come back and noticed that the ex-bats have a couple of big bald patches - rather than being patchy. 2 of the ex-bats especially have clear round patches on their necks, where before they were patchy. So I was wondering whether they were moulting the poor feathers prior to growing their new feathers, or whether they are fighting each other. The patches seem very clean - plucked almost, rather than as if they had been yanked out by another chicken.
