Ah, I waited too late to edit! Here are more pics of Jolene being scruffy. She is CRANKY!

Watch out, Jazz Hands, she's gonna beat you up!

No need to edit. This here is fine. She doesn't look like she wants anyone near her right now.

Sure doesn't. She swung on him right after that picture! Poor guy didn't know WHAT was going on.

Poor fella. She'll come back to normal... eventually.

Another tailless one, lol. Don't worry, you're not the first (even on this thread) that had a scare that something got a chicken by the feathers everywhere.

Yeah, it was a worse mess last year with my oldest girl and she's not been right since.

Oooooh whee! She's a contender!

I was so disappointed she missed the contest by a hair last year! Then someone said she could enter the one this year since her molt would’ve been this year technically. Funny loophole! I am betting she will molt later again. She has perfect feathers still!
