I think the worse part was my coworker who say it all - he was kind enough to ask if I was ok before bursting out laughing
They are often seen side by side.
Good heavens poor chickies! Poor Dorothy dropped all hers in less than 3 days! All except the one primary on each wing
Those 2 are the ultimate power couple. I love that Marty has Mr. P wrapped around her wing feather.I think the worse part was my coworker who say it all - he was kind enough to ask if I was ok before bursting out laughing
as @featherhead007 says that Mr P, I really lucked out with him. Quiet and attentive to the gals, he esp loves my silkie Marty who leads him all over the place

then she will clean the feathers for him. Need to get photos or video of that.
I know it so cute it’s hilarious, they are kindred spirits - last night she was showing him where the food was - night before he was getting her treats
oh my! I wish I had that good a chance for some no feathered hen pictures.Good heavens poor chickies! Poor Dorothy dropped all hers in less than 3 days! All except the one primary on each wing
Yes! Power couple - perfect description!
Oh dear no…. So hard on the poor kiddos, last year Sophia almost died she stopped eating hot all depressed I had to step in and feed her scrambled eggs for almost a month, it was so chilly here she had to stay in the feed room in the heat. This year poor Dorothy also had a week of scrambled eggs and treats to keep her eating. And time in the heated room.
our chickens just start eating more when they molt. they will have molts at random times, but sometimes that random time is in winter. we have such a well insulated coop that many times I've had to take off my winter coat (which is nothing compared to their feather jackets) because otherwise I would be a wet mess when I got back inside!Oh dear no….
