Ended Official BYC Contest - Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures - 2022

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

I assume, even though there haven't been any posts in a while, that the contest is still open for entries? I didn't think I'd have a bird to enter as my usual hard molters went easy on it this year, but then Harley decided to just drop half of her feathers at once this past week. Looks like the competition's pretty stiff this year, but she really gave it her all anyway!

Now I'm just waiting on her sister Washburne to molt... and really hoping she has a lighter molt than Harley considering how soon it'll be frigid here!

Yes, still open for entries. What type of feathering is that?

Whoops, I forgot to add that, she is non-frizzle! She's a silkied Cochin bantam.

I've never seen a silkied cochin before. She sure is cute!

Haha, she's a lot cuter in full feathering

Holly yesterday. Poor girl was shivering so bad I had to put her under a heat lamp.
