How old are they? What breed? And have never molted? What is the weather like where you live?

One is an 11 year old mix breed rooster the other is a 2 year old Brabanter. They usually molt in April and November. My hen just started losing feathers, the rooster still nothing. But I think he may just be too old. It has also been unseasonably warm even for a Hawaiian winter.
