It hangs cockeyed from his body and I wonder if there is a way I can sort of glue it back or should I cut it off where the crack is? I don’t know how it happened. He is a house pet and is very pampered. Is this how it molts or what? When he lays down it makes a loop over his head. He seems kind of amused but I worry. I this a sort of molting? Tje area outside has a big crow that he has gotten into a fight with before and though I didn’t actually see the fight I found feathers in the street but they weren’t his.. looked like it was a pretty good fight but that was months ago. The crow was mocking his rooster crow but I am
jist asking what I should do about his cracked sickle feather! He has two prominent sickles one in each side. A black Australorpe.
