My Patridge Rock Hen moulted in early spring this year, I believe in April. Mostly her down and underside feathers. From what I remember this was a fast moult. A few weeks.
This week she began another moult.
It appears so far this is her wing feathers.
Can any one tell me if I should be concerned on 2 moults?
Is this normal for a partridge rock?
Should I do anything special?
She is eating ok.

I appreciate any thoughts or insight.

I am not sure if it is normal or not. But I have a hen that has had a few "mini" molts this past year as well. She seems fine and goes about her business each day. She has gone broody about 4 times this year and she seems to "mini" molt right after these broody spells.

I have not observed Ethel broody. She has not layed consistently on a daily basis.
She does go about her business in a normal sense.
She is eating and drinking ok.
I guess I just do not know if a double moult is normal?
My parrots only moult once.
