The girl is wondering about the costume on the Halloween chicken. That bird will freeze on October 31st when it goes out to trick or treat.

This thread has made me feel so much better about my shaggy molty birds. They look TERRIFIC compared to a lot of these poor girls!

My picture at the beginning is my buttercup. For some reason, buttercups look positively awful when they molt.
