What is bird molting?

Answer 1

Birds molt to replace their old plumage. Feathers wear out and break. They are also able to freshen up for mating season. People renew their skin all the time, but the structure of feathers means they have to drop out and regrow.

Answer 2

In summer, chickens would be very hot when they would keep al the feathers they have in the winter, so they loose some of the little feathers under the big ones. When it gets colder, they get all new feathers, to protect them from the cold again.

Answer 3

It is when it gets out of its shell.

The above is called "hatching"

Molting is when a birds feathers fall out and they grow new ones. This usually happens in spring and can be very stressful to the bird. Care should also be taken about the birds nutrition at this time as well and there are commercial diets available for molting birds.

Answer 4
