This is my showgirl sizzle and she’s been looking extra ugly for the last week or two and I assumed it was just moulting and now I’m just nervous I was wrong

I see bald shoulders in my girls. This is usually caused by breeding. I don't own frizzles, but it happens with all birds.

Should I look into those saddles for hens? We have 7 hens and 1 Roo, so I didn’t think overbreeding would be a concern

With shoulder guards if you can find those.
