She looks worse in person.
Oh yeah, and it's 47°F right now

I bet.
47° isn't too bad... It sure beats the January cold when one decides to hit a molt then.

Entry #1
Breed : Olive Egger
Name: Black Magic

Bad feather day. 1st time with molting chicken. I thought someone died in the coop! Black feathers everywhere.

Congrats on the first time molt! It looks like it hit her pretty hard.

Oops. Sorry.

Orca is another name for Killer Whales. When my girl was a chick, she had the colors of one. Now, she's the farthest thing from one... until she's laying an egg and some unsuspecting hen happens to walk by.

Haha! No worries!
