[QUOTE="KDM, post: 480029, member: 314"] BigV is correct on the egg laying timeline. When our flock is 3 we start the next generation so when the new hens start laying in about 6 months the old flock can be "phased out." The feather loss may be due to feather mites. It's pretty common during the winter months as the birds can't dust bathe like they do in summer to keep the mites in check. A little powdered insecticide applied lightly to the birds and then a dusting in the coop usually knocks the mites down until spring. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
