Sadly, this is starting to be the case with me, and is particularly true of the chickens, who're moulting prodigiously. Even Squawks, the bird using the chest complaint, is placing a lot of the items energy she's got into producing new plumage. I'd rather hoped she'd got this chore out earlier through the year, as making new feathers really takes it outside of a chicken, but perverse to the bitter end she's shedding feathers and producing new ones. Chickens renew their plumage at different rates. Snatchit removes her old feathers little by little, so it's not obvious appearance wise. Not true Priscilla the Brahma. This bird dumps vast quantities in one go. When this technique started I came into the garden and had to alarmed to find swathes of pale brown feathers in clumps situated on the lawn. My first thought was that she'd been attacked, but a quick search revealed a slightly bald looking chicken lolloping about and apparently none the worse. Contained in the hen house the ground was thickly carpeted together with her discarded plumage, and it would be a wonder that she didn't look semi-plucked. Slasher the Aruacana is actually another serial feather dumper, although this year I assumed she was ignoring the tendancy of manufacturing a trendy autumn coat. When she does, this bird goes from looking small and elegant to rather sawn off at the vent end and wearing a skinny little neck from which a spiny stubble of new feathers protrude such as a punk rocker's collar. By early today, that's how she looks. Growing new feathers tends to get the birds irritable. Squawks particularly is more likely to have an attempt at her cohorts, but Slasher, quite the standoffish character, simply becomes more skittish and keen to dive for cover when she sees me coming. chickens
