I would rather be Altruistic and financially poor, than be Financially wealthy and morally bankrupt.

I have to vote for the frizzle too. She has to be the most pathetic molting chicken I have ever seen. Our little frizzle "Phylis" just went through her first molt. She looked pretty bad there for a spell (the neighbors thought we were beating her!) but she never looked as bad as that on her worst day. I feel like knitting her a little robe to wear.

Just try'n to stay ahead of the wolves, foxes, coyotes, hawks, snakes, racoons, opossums, stray dogs, etc, etc, etc.

In that state, if I was her, I'd be darn nervous anytime someone got out a frying pan! She gets my vote!

Oh, yeah, gotta get a pic of one of my girls, she's a horror show right now. I need to get her a coat, because we are expecting frost tonight.

I live in Central Maine on a small 1 acre "farm". I have a variety of hens, both standards and bantams. I just got a small incubator and want to start hatching some eggs!

This is my frizzle bantam cochin BJ molting.    I feel so sorry for her!

She is now wearing a little dog Halloween shirt to hide her nakedness.

Wow.  I news birds molted, but not like this.  I feel bad for laughing since I also feel so bad for them.  I do think zazouse's 3 year old frizzle hen takes the cake.  Poor thing.  I am both terrified and excited to see my girls go through this for the first time.  Hopefully it isn't too cold or hot.  And that was a good question, can they get sunburned in that shape??
