Peanut is looking good with her new feathers coming in nicely. She'd be all good in a week.Lots of snow here. Heavy packing snow at first, now fluffier. I don't know the inches but it's up to and over my knees and takes a few shovels to get to ground.
Worked like a dog yesterday taking down the poultry net fences & wrapping up the wire, clearing my collection of various shaped landscape stones so DH can snowblow and I can find them this winter, and bringing in the last aviary nets. I will say these Buckeyes are NOT adventurous happy campers in the cold! I left up the aviary netting as long as I could, because it offered them lots more roaming possibilities. There was no snow! But they are the wimpiest Buckeyes. They have not lived up to their reputation!
Sorry, ladies.
Maybe because Peanut was molting so hard, and was so cold, she never wanted to lead them out there?
Maybe their covered run is Paradise?
With the aviary netting down I secured the (under) roof tarps on that side, and consolidated the greenhouse frames.
Here's before I went out to shovel some and clear off their coop. The green tarp there while keeping the driving snow out for now is blocking some ventilation. So I have a new plan to hang one from the door top at the wall angled out to the edge of the overhang. It's the exposed western side. The eastern side has no problem and is working great.

Peanut Long-Neck. She needs her outer contour feathers to grow in more, and underfluff too. She still looks 50% as big as the others.

Butters' derriere for FBF, Peanut in front.

And her great silhouette. Butters is also sporting the popular mussed-look. The lower black tail feather looks like a dart stuck there!

Uh oh, the photographer has overstayed her welcome. Or maybe Butters is ready for her close-up now!! Beautiful Butters. Nice Punk hairstyle, there! She says No, not Punk, it's called The Molt. Very fashionable!

You are so lucky! None of my chook friends have fluffy Butts like yours do!
Spectacular!
Nice! Full blown butts all! But Inky's is quite symmetrical.
Wow, so much GREEN...
Tina must be a curious one - every flock needs one! 
That's because you have skinny leghorns ( no offense Glynda - your bottom glows, but is quite svelte!) and production Rocks.
The shape of the butt isn’t what matters. (They all poop the same)That's because you have skinny leghorns ( no offense Glynda - your bottom glows, but is quite svelte!) and production Rocks.
That's okay, though. Everyone can't have a Marylin Monroe derriere! If so, they would end up being so passé. Variety is what makes each one beautiful in it's own right! Just ask Betty!
