When is a roosters molting season?

Answer 1

Molt in chickens lasts about 90 days. Some breeds can go through this twice in a year. Other breeds and chickens with poor nutrition can take much longer to go through the process. Molting is the renewal of feathers so the better fed the bird the quicker it changes out its feathers.

Answer 2

Moulting is the process of shedding and renewing feathers. During the moult the reproductive system of the bird is allowed a complete rest from laying as the bird builds up its body reserves of nutrients and replaces feathers.

Normally, moulting in adult birds will occur once a year, but it may occur in certain individuals twice in one year, and sometimes only once in a period of two years.

Chicks go through one complete and three partial moults during its growth to point of lay at about 8 months old, after which the mature bird normally undergoes one complete moult a year, usually in autumn although this depends on the time of the year at which the bird started laying. Generally complete moulting occurs from 1-6 weeks and partial moulting at 7-9 weeks, 12-16 weeks and 20-22 weeks, and during this latter moult the stiff tail feathers are grown.

Answer 3

Roosters go through a full molt about once per year, usually as the season changes and natural light levels are reduced. This is not cause for worry, Hens egg production will drop and the roosters can look a little disheveled. They put a lot of energy into replacing

feathers lost during this time and a good nutritious feed is required.
