Charles Taylor replied to Charles Taylor's discussion Moulting or not??? in the group Chickens"if they are doing that, then they better find a rooster and start laying eggs again.

Moulting or not???
Okay, it's hot in TX we all can agree. Birds need extra water and more protein. I have a Dominecker that appears to be molting. I am finding feathers everywhere and all my other birds are looking rough as well. They have not laid one egg in over a week now and I am beginning to get worried. Do I have reason to worry or is this natural? From all I have read, they should moult when the days are shorter. Information is important here, so please help me out if you can.

"Interesting, may be a relative, since it has never bloomed. The leaf in the pic is nearly 20" long on nearly a 3 foot stem."
