If you don't mind me asking, what is up with the reds missing all of their feathers?

I was told it was to do with Motting. I think i mispelled that. When they lose there feathers and grow new ones. Please if I'm wronf ler me know i would hate to see something happen fo them if the breeder gave me wrong information.

Ah yes, molting, if the breeder gave you the right information. Extra protein will help them grow out new feathers.
