Moulting
« on: August 04, 2013, 12:52 »
My RIR is moulting and looks very scruffy and it looks like my welsummer has joined her.  Feathers everywhere.  Looks like a huge fight has taken place,  is this normal?  (My first moult so inexperienced in this)  She lost all her tail and loads of breast feathers.  Are moults like this?

They can be, some birds will lose most of their feathers and others will have partial moults where you don't notice the loss as much.
