I was thinking that too, then I realised she's about 18 months old. So while it's seasonally early, it's timely for her age. 18 months is when the first big moult occurs, isn't it? At least, this page says so.

That seems right.

Ivy's moulting. She's shed a whole lot of pink-stained back feathers and this wing feather.

How soon we get used to things - I saved loads of feathers earlier and displayed them all over the Chicken Palace, and now I am just wandering through heaps of feathers like they were leaves.

They get like leaves. They were all over the coop when I cleaned. They are now in the garden. Next summer the will be in my tomatoes.

Very satisfying.
I am partial to egg and tomato sandwiches. Feels fitting.
