I'll try that. I don't think it's a molt, though, since she's only six months old. I can just tell she's uncomfortableI've had 4 or 5 feather footed birds, have 3 right now. I had one that had constant issues with the feathers on the legs, they would get very irritated, would break and bleed, the legs were always irritated looking, it was multiplied during molt. I started using coconut oil to soothe and when new feathers were coming in I would wrap the legs with co wrap, just tight enough to stay on and protect the feathers, it did seem to help. Just wrap the feathers so they lay as they grow, and only just tight enough to stay on. My others occasionally have issues at molt but are not nearly as bad as the one was. It may have a genetic factor, some birds seem to have no problems, some do.
