Aussie Finch Forum

I've only had Canarys for a few months, so I haven't seen their moult before. My hen is showing some redness on the neck and I'm worried that it's not normal.
- I treated with Moxidectin a few weeks ago as part of my normal parasite prevention activities
- Up until about a week ago, the hen was housed in an aviary with the cock. Didn't observe any fighting, though.

It certainly looks like a heavy moult. You say she was with the cock and is not now, so was she like this before the move?

She wasn't this bad before the move, but did have some redness and missing feathers.

It looks as if she has new feathers emerging through, so should improve over the next few days.

Would suggest a normal moult aggravated by the stress of a move. As T has said the new feathers can be seen emerging so all should be well soon.

Thanks, guys.
