Moulting Season | Sami Loft & FarmHouse

If you keep chooks, you may have noticed that they go through a process called moulting. This is a natural part of a hen's life cycle and occurs when she sheds old feathers and grows new ones. Moulting usually occurs once a year, during autumn or early winter. During this time, hens may stop laying eggs or lay fewer eggs than usual, as their bodies focus on growing new feathers. It's important to note that moulting is a normal and healthy process for chooks, and it's nothing to be concerned abou

At this time of the year, many species of birds are moulting and they don't really look their best. This goldfinch, that is usually resplendent in its red, black and gold, will be back to normal in a few weeks. The Birdsy cam has captured this change happening.
