Do Roosters Molt Too?

[Joan]

I've read alot about layers molting so I'm all prepared for that to happen. But do roosters molt as well?
Poor Rudy is missing his beautiful tail feathers. He will do a shake- shake and feathers fly around him.
Is this normal? Or is it something missing in his diet? He seems to feel fine, behaves normally and eats well.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes! My rooster is molting right now!

Mine too. His beautiful tail feathers look awful.

Yup. Mine lost all his tail feathers and looked just pitiful. He seemed slightly embarrassed. HA! Thankfully everything seems to be growing back in now.
