She just had a really hard molt. Luckily she did do it early on and will be fully feathered back in before it gets really chilly.

It’s my first year experiencing molting so it was a bit of shock I knew it would happen but the speed at which they drop feathers really is dramatic!

I went to grab for Raven she slipped away so I grabbed at her tail, she is now tailless!

I swear I could see her go ‘na nana na na’ as she ran off - she has been dropping feathers for the past few days, and Larry is still dropping her fancy barred rock zebra stripped feathers ! Hahaha

I got up to go use the bathroom. I came back to this:

Yep. The one and only Philomena, the chook behind Styrophone Mobile.

Philomena dear chickie I hope you’re using AES 256 bit!

Most likely!
@notabitail I have a quest for you. See if you can sneak up on Philomena and see if she is the one who runs BeakBook. We never know if our chooks may be plotting world domination!

I find the whole molting thing really stressful - I know it is normal, but it seems like such a bad idea to lose your nice down jacket just when it is getting cold.
And they always look so miserable!
My friend Maggie (RIP) used to refuse to eat commercial food when she molted so I was constantly stressed that she would starve to death. She would stand out in the rain catching earthworms instead of anything I could tempt her with.
