MsKatt,

I have I Fine looking Rooster his Name is Peepers and in the reacent Hot & Humid past weeks he has been preening his feathers out and plucking Old feathers out as well.

Although, he is not molting he is removing tattered feathers and older feathers on his own. He Still looks Good & is Not looking Poor.

It is natural for chickens to molt and shead feathers for New Feathers to come in many "New Chicken Owners " will think something is wrong with their Prize Chickens due to this Natural occurance but it is very normal. no need to medicate them .

Do Keep a check on your Birds for unusual happenings to them or their conditions .
