I have some very bald heads!! Looking  sorry for themselves. Can hardly see the floor for feathers and I only changed the litter last week. Don't race mine and dont really know about flight feathers sorry

I have my birds for a release business so am wondering how far they can safely fly whilst moulting and approx how long does it take?

me personally i wouldn't send them anywhere if they have only 2 flights to moult and not covered over the head hence thats why a lot of the fanciers that fly natural youngsters are finished racing(not on darkness)
