Free Feather because I believe all species are equal, and everyone deserves to be free. The picture I have is an album cover for a french shoegaze-black metal band. I just really love the picture.

That's cool

How do molts work?
My hen is currently molting for the first time.

Basics are feathers are shed and replaced. Usually no eggs, can take a while... say a month give or take, depends on the bird.

first molts happen at about 16-18 months.... after that its an annual thing...
