When to expect baby's first molt?

Post by taywer321 »

I am just wondering when to expect my baby's first full molt. He is just over 7 months old now... When did your baby molt for the first time?? Any responses would be great thank you!!

This is confusing to me.. since it is November now and he hatched last march.. how old was your bird when they began their first molt?
