Thank you in advance for reply.

Yes!

 

[Pinky]

As stated above, yes.

 

[5parrots&zoo]

Yes, as does any creature with feathers! With our parrots in the house, there are always one or more feathers to be found!

 

[yankeedoodle300]

Yes!

 

[sourland]

Yes.

Yes, and to me they just look WAY more pitiful than the hens, I think cause they're normally so pretty. Mine act shamed and don't try to mate the hens or call them to treats. Couple weeks later, they're back in business.

I was wondering the same. One of my cockerels has lost some feathers on his neck, and I see pin feathers growing out, but it happened overnight it seems.

Yes. any chicken can.
