My poor Australorps, Bidge & Biddy, don't fair well during molting time.

"Mother Clucker" in the fall and then in the spring. They always seem so embarrassed to me when they molt ("Other" breed)

They move fast hard to get a clear shot. Look at them compared to each other - one is almost bald!

Ms. Sophia -- I am entering her in the "Frizzle Molting" contest. Sophia is a petite black Frizzle that is just a little over a year old. She is as sweet as she looks!

Here she is in deep thought pondering life (starting to molt).


Sophia helping her mom work, sporting her new diaper and having a very bad "feather" day (mid molt).


Sophia getting ready -- checking herself out and her new look with all her feathers in (after molt).

Gloria my hybrid Speckled looking rather silly!

I can't wait until my Chickens start to moult!
LOL!

Unfortunately, that's not molting. That's a result of poor care.

Oh, the poor things. What a terrible way to live when your life is so short.

Hey - our hens have it so good! In the wild they would be lunch!

OMG forgive me but I laughed out loud at this one...Poor birdy looks shocked too!
