Please keep us posted on how the ugly chickling feathers out. Oh my goodness, good thing he lives in a warm climate! Honey, one of our young Buff Brahma hens, dropped most of her feathers last week, perfectly timed for the start of frosty mornings. Today she looked so miserable a giant carried her off to the Big Coop. She spent the day snoozing on a towel on the heated concrete floor, head tucked under a porcupine looking wing. I really want to get the spare bathroom painted but might have to wait until she is more of her usual perky self.
