Ended Official BYC Contest—Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures—Fall/Winter 2017

[fisherlady]

So our poor Silver pencil rock decided to go full out molt when the thermostat dropped like a rock...and she won't leave her preferred perch spot for a warmed area we set up so the other night DH brought her inside under his coat, saying he found her shivering on the shelf (it was 5*f at the time....)
She actually looked worse last week but weather wasn't nearly as bad then.

poor thing, though i have to say i love the lone tail feather in this one

 

[fisherlady]

Yes, she is actually filling in, her neck was bald also last week...
Here she is 2 nights ago when hubby brought her in...

Ok, for some reason I was not able to edit my previous posts...
I forgot to include *All other breeds*

We got lots of wonderful entries! Since it's so close to the new year, I'm going to wait a few days before we end this contest and start judging, but I'll keep you all posted

@LilJoe There isn't a limit on entries.

"ALL OTHER BREEDS"
This is my LF partridge cochin 'Rosie'. In the last picture, it shows her compared to a brahma mix that she is usually larger than.

Sorry for the bad images...

Here's my first molting of the year, Lilly my "All Other Breeds" 4 year old Sicilian Buttercup hen. She always has the worst molts in our flock!
