Chick or adult?

  • sere469 by sere469

    Hi, I need your help to figure out how to mark a chick who is in that intermediate phase in which he is losing his plumage. I consider him like an adult or chick?
    Thanks. Serena

    Hi, @sere469 - The FAQs will tell you what to do, and so will I. 😃 Because both chicks and adults moult at the same time, they are exceedingly hard to tell apart, even for the scientists! We ask you to mark as adult any time you can't tell which it is. You'll find the FAQs under Help in the Discussion Boards, and for this question please see FAQ 3rd AL.
