Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Do you have pics? Would be interesting to see some!

You can also search BYC for the molting contest. Warning though, some of them are tough to look at. Honestly some of them look oven-ready.

Oh yes, I think I saw them. Those are some extra hard molts!

Ok, here they are:
It is obviously not nearly as hard as yours, but her neck feathers were basically gone.

You would know a hard molt because it looks like there was a pillow fight in the chicken coop.
Seriously, you cannot imagine how many feathers these birds have until they drop them all in 24 hours.
Every time Dotty moved she was leaving a trail of feathers.

Oh wow! I have a bunch of feathers on the floor, one is having a small molt that is a little noticeable. But she seems a bit “lethargic”

All this molt talk, I think I’m starting to molt too!

It's Grooming Time

We have more progress. ANOTHER joint grooming session! I've been waiting for this ever since I brought them into the garage and wrecked the integration. I'm so excited!

So good to see!
Hoping you are starting to relax having seen that.
Next step is for them to groom each other's hair-dos.

What a beautiful lady. Yes that was a molt for sure and a little rough in the neck area.

It's hard to keep nice things with chickens around.

I am finding that out!
