Hi there,
Noticed one of my RIRs is losing some feathers. She's ruffling herself a lot, and a few feathers are sticking out in odd directions. When you look closely, though, she's missing most of the feathers from her belly. The feathers that are there are broken off short. Some of the area is red. They are about a year old now, but this is the only one of the three that is having this problem.
Here's a bad picture, it was hard to take it with a camera phone, so I apologize for the quality!
So is this a molt, or is it something I should be concerned about?
