Hi! My male Pekin, Twinkie Dean is losing all his feathers. They are all over the yard. I live in Ohio, it’s been a hot summer (I think). I think he is molting? He just turned 1 years old. Happy birthday to my gentleman! 🤍

I am convinced he’s just molting but wanted some opinions. The only reason I am confused is because his wings look TINY all of a sudden. I will post pics! He has lost some really big wing feathers. Wondering if they will grow back or if I should be concerned? He is acting completely normal. A little more sassy than normal but he is a sour patch kid at heart. My girl isn’t losing feathers but she is a mix pekin and runner I think, she’s the same age and is a princess. Wondering if something could be wrong or if I’m just being dramatic again… lol here is Twinkle below!

It's the time of year for molting so hopefully that is what it is.
He'll soon grow in his wing feathers and be his handsome self again. Although he looks pretty handsome now. As long as he is eating drinking and acting like a normal drake he is fine.
Tell Twinkie Dean Happy Birthday from All of us here at BYC!! .
