Molting

How long do eclectus molt.
Oct. 29, I took my vosmaeri eclectus to the
avian vet for a check up, he told me she was
molting. The chest feathers that she molted out
(not the down feathers) have not grown back completely
and the ones that I have noticed that have grown back
disapear, so I'm not sure if she is pulling the new ones out or
if she is still molting.

Scarlett started losing old feathers at the end of July and is just now molting the feathers on her head. I figure by the time she has all of her head filled in, the rest of her will start molting again.
