So my russian orloff just finished her molt...

Before


After


... what on earth

My Speckled Sussex gets more white with every molt, but not nearly that much change that fast! Your girl is an overachiever!

 

[Ursuline Chick]

Wow, she really does look like a different girl.

 

[LaFleche]

Don't worry, this is quite normal with Russian Orloff, and the older she gets, the more white will appear.

A beautiful hen!

[Coops Dad]

My lone White Leghorn hen went through a rough molt where she looked fairly plucked. When her feathers grew back, she looked the same but acted completely different. She was super skittish prior to the molt but friendly and laid back afterward. Also, her eggs went from large to jumbo.

Wow! What a difference! Reminds me of Appaloosa horses that change over the years.
