Are Your Other Fowl Molting?
We Want Your Pics!
It's that time of year again when our birds start their metamorphosis into... well, okay, they don't turn into anything, but it sure is interesting to see them go through their molting process and leave feathers all over the place!
For more information on your flock's annual molt, see here:
