Great read. So thankful all my birds are slow molter's. I have never noticed any of them looking bare.
I had one I thought was molting. Looked scary. Then I found out it was from sexual abuse by my neighbor's duck. Shortly after foxes got him Ruby started looking like herself again.

I enjoyed the article. Lots of good info.
I was thinking though how fortunate I was to have tamed all my birds just by the fact I am in the yard with them most of the day every day.
But I am noticing it is a two edged sword. On one hand it feels sweet that they like following me around. But when I reach the bottom ring of a ladder with my arms full and nowhere to put my foot without stepping on a chicken, it gets unnerving.
Today while ripping down a 12' long 2 x 8 on my table saw, I was attempting to balance the board balance myself and not kick or step on one of the four young pullets under that follwedf me to the saw.
I read somewhere on BYC that scaring them one time can undo a lot of that bond of trust.

Ok, I am hooked. Only three stars because I only got to read a small portion.
Will most certainly be coming back to finish what appears to be a well written article.
Minus one point for sharing your "erroneous" conclusion about putting your drip edge over your front shingles.
