I have not posted to emergency yet.. I wanted to see what response I got first..
My lil girl is actually at the top of the pecking order, she is a Rhode Island Red; she does look just like your Snow White but worse.
We have only had them 1.5 years and none of them EVER lost any feathers like this before, so it kinda freaked me out. We can see skin on her back side,is this normal to molt right before winter, and will she freeze to death.
How long do they "molt" and how do they usually act during this process?
