Open Contest Official BYC Contest—Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures - 2025

This was always a fun contest. I don't have any molting chickens, all young ones this year.

Aw, that's too bad. What about Fancy Nancy? I was hoping to see her again this year.

I went to S. Korea, for a few weeks last fall. I gave her to a guy I know, she did not do well over the winter, but she did have babies, I got one of her grand kids. The white hen.

Oh, sorry she didn't do well. Her daughter looks a lot like her. Hopefully she'll carry on her molting skills for next year!

Name: Chicken Nugget
Breed: Cinnamon Queen

I thought she was going to skip a molt completely last year. Lo and behold. She decided to drop everything during one of our coldest months, January (of this year)! Needless to say, she spent time inside on the -20 and -30 degree nights.
