Molting/Peeling

They were balding before that. I wasn't giving them bathes with that when i first got em. Only after they started balding did i start using it

I would bet money that is the cause of the bald patches...Dawn is actually much harsher than most people think. I won't even use it to do dishes anymore because if makes my hands peel. Soap should only be used as a last resort measure (last resort as in washing oil spill residue off of ducks etc.) especially dawn since it has degreasing agents that strip their feathe

I'll stop using it but it definitely wasn't soap that made them bald. It was happening before that
