Maby im just worrying for nothing im not sure. But as this is my first clutch of gouldians i thought i had better ask.

I have 3 gouldians that started moulting into adult feathers like 6 weks ago now. Give or take a few days.

2 of them are colouring up wonderfully. In fact one hen is very nearly done. The cock is colouring up but isnt gettting pin feathers yet but then he is the youngest out the 3.

The 2nd oldest hen *middle born* Has stopped moulting and colouring up. She started the moult along side her sister and just stopped. She has a tiny bit of colour to her chest and thats it.

They are all in the same cage and are on the same diet. So why has she stopped? Am i just a "panicky poo"? <---*lee evans*
