Oh it is so nice to see your beautiful ladies, haven't seen them in a while.

I have a few moulting like that - what a time of year to be doing this crazy moulting.

It’s the constantly changing presentation on regular FB and the difficulty in finding something again that drives me crazy.

FB drives this old lady crazy too. Reminds me of the old internet dial-up days in the '90's

Sweet girls Gosh those moults look so sad. Their appetite goes down too

We never know our girls are moulting unless we see dropped feathers in the yard.

Since using Missing Link 2-3x/week year-round we haven't had a bald bird. 1/4 tsp over wet food treat for 6 hens. Not cheap but lasts a while using it only 2-3x weekly & it helps w/appetite too. Or some owners feed Feather Fixer to their birds during moults?

Poor Inky - that is a very rough molt!

Awwww...doesn't Light look so sweet - contently perched on the warm human roost - great place for a quick snooze!

House hen Suzu while recuperating. We don't eat her eggies while she's on Tylosin so we scramble & feed them back to her. Since she isn't outdoors to do dust baths her silver partridge feathers are not staining brown!
