Question re moulting

Recommended Posts

Hi

2 of my three hybrids ( they are just under 2 years old):have moulted in the past months, and particularly when my Sussex star was moulting I found white specs, a bit like husks that I assumed were tiny bits of the feather shaft from her moulting. Didn't think anything of it, but now she seems to be over her moult ( but not laying) and I have seen the white bits again. Is it what I think it is, or could it be something else?

Thanks for any advice.

yes your right she could still be growing the downy feathers I find a few of my mob look like they have re grown their feathers only for a few days or a weeks to go by and I notice they have a lot of pin feathers under the outer layer when they have a good old shake
