Molting Sucks!

This is the second autumn for my girls. And feathers everywhere, and ratty looking girls, and only 1-3 eggs a day out of the 7 of them


But on the bright side, the feathers on the backs of some of the rooster's favorites are coming back in....

I save each feather that Arlo sheds in an envelope. They're too pretty to waste!

(I'm weird, I admit!

Some of mine are starting and they look like they have been through a ringer!

Betty is looking pretty scary but she sure is a sweet thing and the others aren't bothering her so all is well.

On a side note it would seem an appropriate time to take some from the flock come molting time. Hardly much left to pluck then.

Anyone ever capitalize then as a practice?

Just wondering, and no, we aren't eating Betty!
