Hey there, chicken enthusiasts! 🐔 In this video, we will dive into the fascinating world of chicken molting. Have you ever been puzzled by your chickens' ragged appearance and wondered if something was wrong? Well, chances are, they're just going through a molt. Join us as we explain what molting is, when it happens, and how to care for your feathered friends during this natural process.

Remember, molting is a natural part of a chicken's life cycle, and with the right care and attention to their dietary needs, your feathered friends will emerge from their molt looking more beautiful than ever.
