help!my bantam has lost most of her tail feathers.

« on: July 31, 2009, 12:58 »

I have only had my 4 bantams for 6 weeks. One has lost most of her tail feathers, but seems otherwise ok. Is this normal for a 12 week old? Thanks-grateful for any advice-new to all of this!

Hi and welcome!

This is totally normal for a 12 week old as they are moulting into their adult plummage! my young araucanas and dorkings are doing the same and there are feathers everywhere! but they are starting to look fab!
