Join us for an in-depth discussion on one of the most critical yet often misunderstood aspects of poultry care: Molting in Chickens and Quail. As the fall season approaches, many of you may notice your flock beginning to shed feathers and slow down in egg production. In this live session, we’ll dive deep into what molting is, why it happens, and the biological processes behind it.
We’ll cover everything from the cellular function and energy demands of feather regeneration to the consequences molting has on your chickens' health and egg production. Learn about the essential nutritional adjustments your flock needs during this time, how long you can expect the molt to last, and practical strategies to manage or even delay the molting process.
Whether you’re a seasoned chicken keeper or just starting out, this video will equip you with the knowledge to support your flock through molting season and ensure they stay healthy and productive. Bring your questions, and let’s make sure your chickens thrive through the fall and winter months! #thedinosauromelette #molting #backyardchickens #homesteading
