what about this little hen? needs a cover for winter ,she been like this all summer ,question what can I do for her she a good little layer but sometimes will back up for aways ,never seen one do that other than my black silkie hen she will stick, her head between her legs and start backing up

Oh my gosh! Poor thing! I am so glad to have seen this thread! This is my first year with chickens and I would have been SO concerned to come out and see them missing their beautiful feathers!

I'm feeling conflicted over this - I don't think chickens make fun of bald/balding humans
especially since humans don't grow in new hair.

My earlier post was of last year's molt. This is the most recent one and by far the worst. LOL!!!

Might be able to get a worthy pic of molting bird today or tomorrow....
because this the last couple days, more feathers than poops!
