**HORRENDOUS MOLT or something more sinister?!***

From what I have read on frizzles, this is normal due to the odd way the feathers grow in the first place. Its actually normal and is to be expected. She will regrow all her cute "curls" soon!

Poor thing. I'd up the protien in her feed to help her get thru it a little faster. I've never had one molt that bad before, but I switch from a lower protein gamebird to 27% when the girls are molting, seems to help the feathers grow in faster.

I think it just looks worse because of her feathers being curled. I think she's still adorable, with or without.

Thanks, B.

She's quite character, so it should come as no surprise to me that she should molt dramatically!​
