Ended Official BYC Contest - Post your best (worst) chicken molt pics!

[OneMountainAcres]

Can turkeys be entered or is this chickens only? I guess she would qualify as the "All other breeds" category?

This is my Princess lol

 

[SilkiesInSuburb]

Catagory: All other breeds
This is Disco. She lost her entire tail! Luckily, she's gained all her fluffiness back.

Just a reminder:

We will have two categories:

"Frizzle" and "All Other Breeds" (on account of Frizzles having some pretty bad molting genes and winning this contest for a few years

).

Please state which category you are entering when posting your pics!

Sorry about that. I've added the category to my post.

I intentionally didn't take any pictures of my frizzle when she was molting because I thought she was going to DIE. It was absolutely horrid. But she filled back in prettier than ever. Now she appears to be starting again.

View attachment 1155410 This is one of our Light Brahmas and she is a real mess right now. At least she still has 1 tail feather!
I am entering her in the All Other Breed category for the Worst Molt!View attachment 1155410

This takes the cake so far...that foot looks kinda gross! Poor thing. I bet she is beautiful normally.
