Molting Season?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

My Chinese geese are looking a little raggedy. Is this the time of year when they molt?

post #2 of 4

They can molt any time of year, there is no set 'moulting time of year'. 

Can't you see I am laying an egg? Stop opening the nest box!!

Along the same lines, how often do they molt a year?  (Since they can molt at any time, does it happen in just one period of time or several times within a year??)
