dinkybluebug Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Help, Rose is moulting profusely!! is it normal to have so much feather loss... at first we weren't so worried about her as she had stopped laying... and a preivous post said this was normal. She seems fine in herself, eating, (destorying the garden - ha ha) - but everytime she moves she loses more feathers Can anyone advise whether this much feather loss is normal? Pics below. The one in the kithcen with all the feathers on the floor, is because I tried to pick her up and she flapped about a bit, meaning loads of feathers came off!!! eek. Many thanks from Worried Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Yes, perfectly normal. I have had my Eglu runs look like explosions in a pillow factory before now. As long as she is eating and drinking normally I shouldn't worry too much. Normally they moult around November-ish, but I have one at the moment who is looking like your girl. It might be worth checking her carefully for lice and mites etc, but it does look like a normal moult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
