My girls are all 3 years old. 5 of them I have never noticed molting (stealth molting?). The 6th never seems to finish. #6 Annabell has been very sickly and I currently have her separated from the others so she is no longer getting picked on (getting beat up might contribute the the appearance of never ending molting). When she preens she seems to pick and pull at her feathers rather than gently straighten them the like others. I have checked her for mites etc and dont see anything. Any suggestions? How long before I can expect her to look better?
