Thenomadpack 0 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 My fhh is almost 6 months old and has now dropped 4 flight feathers over the last month. The 3rd dropped 4 days ago and another this morning. Her weight is 896g and she's responding well. Never had a bird moult this early before so I'm wondering if this is just an early partial moult or if she's gonna through a full cycle and change into adult plumage. Any thoughts? Quote Link to post

It could be a thyroid problem Quote Link to post
