Rooster's first molt

[coyote826]

Is it normal for a rooster to molt for the first time at the age of 4?
Thanks!!

Your rooster has been moulting, this just is probably his first really big and noticeable one. A lot of chickens go through mini moults, which is not very noticeable.

That totally makes sense.
I wish it could have waited until after I had taken his annual Christmas photo. Thank you for replying.
