One of my hens is having her first proper moult with her under side looking very bald. Just wondered if there was anything I could give her to help with the process? She's still laying, is her usual energetic self, but quite bad tempered towards the other birds. Last year she had a partial moult, and it didn't seem as noticable.

Mine have Macrovit which I get from the vets to give them the extra vitamins they need and hard boiled or scrambled egg for the protien they need for new feather growth 

I'll see if I can get some Macrovit from the Vet, as it's probably much better than the Life-Guard tonic I use at the moment. I'm sure Angel would love some eggs. Never known such a greedy hen, she ate half a melon to herself yesterday while the others were crowded round the other half

I give mine chick crumb mixed with boiled egg once a day when they are in heavy moult.

Never thought of giving her chick crumb, good idea managed to pull my poorly ex batt through Winter with chick crumb & boiled egg, so will give it a try

There's a new stuff out called KeepWell that is designed specially for ex-batts and chooks that are moulting. I tried it on my girls when we moved house recently 'cos I thought they might be a bit stressed. It went down a treat and I noticed that their eggs improved. It says it is high in calcium so I s'pose thats why.
It's made by the same people that make Verm-x poultry liquid and is totally herbal which I really like.

Thanks, I'll have a look for it the next time I'm in the poultry supply shop.
