First Place - @ShannonsChimkens

Second Place - @Redbrew

How about a turkey? We have three girls and they all have their first hard molt at same time.... feathers everywhere!

Third Place - @Huntmaster

Here is another

Fourth Place - @yesterDAYNE

Alright, may I present to you, my son Griffon! I think he is still very handsome, 3 and a 1/2 tail feathers and all!

First Place - @Daphne_loves_mealworms

A work in progress. This is usually my most photogenic girl. She’s just started, so I’m sure it will just get better. I just couldn’t resist documenting her Turken impression!

Edited to add: Her feet aren’t actually disturbingly purple. It is the first cold morning, so they are a bit pink, but the photo changed that pink to a more worrisome color while not highlighting the pink skin of her neck!

Just a couple of updated pictures - she has a single black feather on her head and her underside is only down! Her wing feathers are hanging on by a thread.

Second Place - @GeeseGoose

Bee(tlegoose,) my embden goose had mooted a ton of feathers on her wings, but they seemed to skip every other feather! Not so majestic, let alone intimidating to the wild geese!
The new feathers have since sprouted, but they’re still tiny! I hope to get a photo soon.

Third Place - @Quatie

Here is my Muscovy female. She has decided to drop everything but her wing feathers. So much fluff.

Yeah. She was a bit itchy and yanking feathers out. She is a bit impatient. She already starting to look pretty again. She is getting her head feathers in.

Fourth Place - @scrossley

Yes, I think you should - here is my Muscovy Drake during his 1st molt - I had no idea what was happening to him until I contacted a rescue group and they told me he was molting!
