Love the sun on fluff picture - so pretty!Chicken tax, SHRA and other. Popcorn! Her fluffy butt, early for Friday, as she's foraging this evening. View attachment 2723128

Glint on certain hackles feathers is interesting.

In other news Hazel is/was doing some kind of small molt. The last several days there've been fluff feathers, and some two-feather feathers - a long fluff and a small less fluffy one seemingly on the same shaft, and one big contour feather lying about. She looked a little scraggly and her thigh area shape doesn't look the same. Might account for her grumpiness.
Interestingly, Peanut got on Hazel's case and pursued and pecked her on the neck recently. Hazel went running.
I checked Butters' neck and she's got about an inch of nice new feathers out of the pins and coming in under the hackles! She squatted and let me stroke her yesterday.
