Hello,
I have 6 black sex links that were born in april this year and did not molt this fall. I kept waiting for it, but nothing ever happened. Now, one of them seems to losing the feathers around her neck and has white?? on her head (teased her that she was going grey!) Its been in the 20s and 30s for weeks now. Why would she molt now? The other five seem full feathered, though one other has light white/grey on her head too.
No diet change, free ranges after work and on weekends. All six are still thick as theives. No evidence of being picked on when im around.
What do i do if she molts now?? How do i keep her warm? The coop doesnt have electricity.
Sorry for crappy pics, she wouldnt hold still.
