My chickens have struggled badly over winter they look scraggy and are not laying. I might cull them this weekend. What do you think? Leave a bit longer? Loads of foxes cos of bad weather spooking them I think. All indoors at night but worrying still. Poor things.

all depends on what sort you have, as they moult at different times and come in to lay at different times, some of mine are a bit oven ready around the tail feather area but that is normal. I think that because it has been that cold and dark that their clocks may be off a bit, get some supliments inside them and see how they go.

Cull them incase theyre miserable and suffering theyre very complicated emotional characters. You have to be cruel to be kind sometimes. I do kill them for food because supermarket chicken freaks me out. But I wouldnt eat anything that looked ill or weak.

There are many reasons you may have to cull a flock, If for food, you know where it has come from, what kind of life it has had. If it is a welfare issue they could have picked up a bacterial infection which can be hard to treat, and runs the risk of infecting other birds
