Wow, she is STUNNING, pretty feathering and fluffy too!

Thank you you’re very kind to say so, I have her sister who is identical to her and a daughter (that is likely hers).

Thank you! I was a bit worried about her shunning food so much, but I am able to get her to eat some warm mash mixed with egg and canned chicken in the evenings before bed. She’s doing well around the flock, as far as I can tell. I’ve just seen them preening together, in fact. I think it’s just me!! But I will follow your advice and keep a closer eye on her just incase. Thanks again Looking better, rumpless, but better! View attachment 3662462View attachment 3662463

I love the steps - perfect for chooks to relax on

Moulting has got to be just miserable for the poor wee things, sure hope your hen is ok.

Thank you, i think we are starting to be on the up and up. I agree with you, I feel so bad for them.

They just love their afternoon stair naps! It’s the the most peaceful site.

Coffee my poor brahma chicken I got pictures through the whole process. She’s still got some feather growing to do, but thankfully all her skin is covered in time for the cold weather all these pictures were taken within the last two months.
I uploaded about forty pictures… but I’m not seeing them all as I’m writing this post, but we will see if they actually are attached or not.

I know right! she has an “angry” look about her, it’s how those feathers are pointed around her eyes
