molting male looks awful! Just checking...
Please take a look at this male. I know he's molting, and they do look ragged, but this is my first year with these, and I want to make sure he looks normally ragged!

They molt all at once and can look truly ratty.
Make sure he gets daily egg food. It takes a lot of energy -mainly protein- to grow new feathers.
