Hey guys! I hope you've all been well this year!!
Lately Frankie, my IRN, has been losing some of his larger feathers, not his soft fluffy downy ones. He looks molt-normal? His colour is a bit duller and he looks scruffier than normal, just like he does when he's molting, the only reason I'm concerned is that he hasn't got any pin feathers and I can see? He hasn't let me rub his head lately so I can't feel for them either.
He hasn't got any bald spots, none of his feathers look choppy or anything either so I'm just having trouble indentifying what's going on exactly
He's in bed right now so I don't have any photos, I can get some tomorrow, but I've got a picture of his feather that just dropped today which I'll attach.
All other behaviour is normal, so I'm not too concerned right now but I'd like to manage it early on if there is something going on.
Much appreciated as always!!
