Moulting, now??

Two of our chooks are what looks like to be going through a (partial) moult? :blink:

But this time of year? I thought they shed their feathers and grew new one for the 'new year'

Any ideas?

some of mine are too and they are looking a bit tatty. They normally all look so neat and tidy but hedge backwards springs to mind
mine are coming up to a year old and havent done a full moult yet. (well not that ive noticed anyway)

From my experience there is no set time when birds moult. One 3 year old hen has had one full moult (that was so funny.....oven-ready comes to mind) and a couple of partials and the rest have just had partials so far.
They do look scruffy, don't they!!

Yeah! Scruffy, raggy, pullled through a hedge the wroung way etc.

At least I now know they can moult any time of year...
