Moulting Care Kit
Sorry, product out of stock
Our Moulting Care Kit consists of products that have been hand selected by us to help you hens through the moult.
Moulting is completely normal and happens every year, usually in the Autumm. The chickens shed all their feathers and re-grow new ones; this can take up to a month (from experience it can take longer in older birds). During this time it’s essential that they are feed correctly as growing new feathers takes a lot of energy, calcium and protein. It’s quite common that they stop laying whilst moulting.
At the end of the moult you will have glossy and sleek looking chickens again with some egg production - it’s not normally until spring (and return of the sun) before the egg production goes back to what it was before the moult.
