Well, The Ladies are definitely molting - there are feathers everywhere! Watching The Ladies walk around is almost like a cartoon – they literally leave a trail of feathers in their wake. The brown chickens look pretty much the same except for white patches here and there. Nugget looks like she lost a few pounds of feathers... I tried taking pictures, but none came out any good
Along with the molting, egg production has dropped way down. Instead of getting four to five eggs a day, I’ve been getting one or two – and one of the two has been crushed most of the time. I think that either someone needs to lose some weight or they need to be a bit more careful when maneuvering around in the nesting box. I’m going to add another F5 bar and add some more padding in there… hopefully that will help
On a side note… when I watch TV, I like to leave the closed caption on. It helps me catch a lot of stuff I’m sure I didn’t hear right. It is also pretty entertaining on it’s own. When watching this week’s episode of Chuck, there was a scene where the good guys were taking down the bad guys and one of the bad guys was having his neck broken by a good guy (that sounds a lot more violent than it was ) – the caption at that moment read “sudden squishy crack'”.
Hmmm…. I guess that fits.
I suppose when you really think about it, it could be kind of hard to describe sounds of what’s going on to people who can’t hear
