how old?
any others doing it?
does she seem to be maintaining weight?
how is her poop?

 

[matt richmond]

She is little over a year old
The others don't seem to have this
She looks the same weight as the others
And I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary in her poop

Perhaps she is starting to molt. if so, put her on Nutrena Feather Fixer feed . it's excellent for bringing Birds through the molt. she may even lay thru the molt . it's good for any birds over 16 weeks old
I used it on my flock and was amazed at the wonderful results! beautiful new plumage!

it is possible for her to molt in the spring, they can molt any time of year, usually in the fall but every bird is different
how old are the others?

[matt richmond]

The others are the same age I will try to post pictures later
