She's about 90% back to normal now. They've been on Kalmbach's Flockmaker 20% protein for a couple of years, so she's had that all along. Frizzles take forever!

Still not an entry.

She sure changed.

Oh, wow! She's improved a lot!

Thanks! I wish she'd have returned to that orangish color, but still, she's a beauty.

How old is she? Some chickens lose their color as they are. I've noticed it the most in the Buff Orpingtons. As they aged, they got lighter.

She's 3. First and only molt. A chocolate one that just got done molting a few months ago is molting again already! If they aren't broody, they're molting lol.

Oh, wow, she does! I'd think at this point she'd be leaving a trail of feathers for you to find her, but those probably are blending too.
