| Been sorting the young cocks and hens out yesterday, and when I was checking to see how many flights they have left to moult, I noticed on a young red chequer that his last but one has come through and is covered with blood, anything to worry about, or just a badly moulted flight  |

| Thanks Steve, the bottom of the flight where it leaves the wing and the quill is bloody, just looks a bit dodgy, as long as he'll be ok I'm happy |
