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

[Mother of Chaos]

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.View attachment 4225710View attachment 4225712View attachment 4225714View attachment 4225716View attachment 4225720View attachment 4225725View attachment 4225721View attachment 4225723View attachment 4225724
