I think I know who it is; I'll try to get a photo of her tomorrow.

I got this almost 2 year old girl recently at the beginning of a heavy molt. Here's how she looked a couple days after I got her. As of today, her feathers are coming in!

I think this is her

She's lost so many feathers that she doesn't even look Buff anymore, lol. Thanks for entering!

She's definitely looking pretty rough. I bet it is her.

On a side note, what an awesome comparison! You captured her in the same position in both pictures.

Susu, Sapphire Olive Egger.

Poor little susu yesterday.

She's hard to photograph right now. Her whole belly is bare, she has one tail feather left and her back is bald.

Peaches, Sapphire Olive Egger.

No tail still but her chest and neck is coming back in. Her underbelly is almost bare. Still losing more but she's still laying once every 9 or so days.
