Got to get him eating egg, and a LOT of it.
I'm trying to get my 2 new hens to eat egg, because they are in the middle of their molt also. But so far they just nibble at it. They don't scarf it down like my other gouldians.

I compared the photos I have posted here, of the head, and the head he has now and there are definitely changes. Positive changes!
He has slightly more black plumage on his head, so the molt is definitely in moving still.
His feet are still dry looking but it has improved from the photos above as well! I did NOT do anything to the feet, aside from adding a bird bath in the cage. Things are looking good for the little guy!
I'll update with new photos later this week, perhaps the changes of the juvenile head color to black adult plumage will be even more obvious then!
