Hens usually moult in which following order?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
Hens usually moult in Head, Neck, Body, Wing, and tail order.
Moulting takes place in a fairly definite order. Feathers are confined to definite tracts or areas of the body surface, with bare patches of skin between.
The first plumage is lost from the head and neck, then from the saddle, breast and abdomen (body), then the wings and then from the tail.
