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

[Pampered chicken girl]

My BCM Coco is going through a particularly hard molt this year. She stopped laying eggs about a week before the feathers started coming out. Because of our weather some of my birds never seem to do the hard molts. They just lose and regrow feathers continuously throughout the year. Though a few go through something like Coco. Doesn’t seem to bother her too much and she could care less how she looks.

Oh poor girl, that's a bad molt.

I wish I could have an entry.
None of my chickens look like they are even molting, but they are..

I have feathers EVERYWHERE and no eggs but the birds look fine, except one has no tail.

Oh my goodness. Heart goes out to Fancy Nancy. That's the worst molt I have ever seen. I'll be watching this thread!
