The Cost of Sinus Surgery. by DC on Aug 23 2012 - 16 Comments. In less than three weeks I will be having a septoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery. I have essentially had a chronic sinus infection for the past eight-plus months, though Iâve had problems off and on for three years.
Chickens experience two, juvenile or mini molts as I like to call them, before a their first annual molt. The first mini molt begins at 6-8 days old and is complete by approximately 4 weeks when the chick's down is replaced by its first feathers.
Depending on the species, the average length of the molt varies from 13 days for the GalÃ¡pagos penguin to 34 days for the emperor penguin. Penguins fast when molting. Prior to this, they each build up a thick layer of fat to provide energy until the molt is complete.
