Quote: My roo is done with his molt. His tailfeathers seem to be always in the process of renewal.

Quote: He may just be still in the process of getting his adult plumage. My gang went thru several episodes of that before they truly looked like adult birds.

I rarely ever close the shutters on my coop. However today we got hit with a cold front and rain. DH insisted I close the shutters tonight because even he felt sorry for my naked chickens. My roo is almost finished molting, but some of my girls look pitiful!

Quote: Yes, some do. I have one hen that molted so quick it was hard to even notice. That's great and a good trait because the faster they molt, they quicker they get back to laying. I have a few others that are nearly bald. They feel like porcupines.
