Guest geordiejen Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 could it be the bird is stressed?a bird will only moult when its in the best of health no underlying ailments and the birds immune system is in tip top condition.can you lock the bird in its own pen with feed and water?have you noticed the bird getting bullied by the others?

mosslands1 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 it could be one of thousands of reasons ?? ive been trying to work out why some of my young birds on the dark moult just like natural birds and there brothers and sisters from the same nest and in same compartment food ect dont moult ????? by the way the ones that do moult perform just the same as the ones that dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest geordiejen Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 only if he was being bullied or was shy of going to the feeders when fed i would lock him up.my thinking behind this was he would be more settled and birds moult when they are rested and feeling comfortable in the loft.i dont know mate maybe someone else has the answer.
