This is Melba. She’s usually the boss of the yard but molting has humbled her some.

This is what molt looks like when you've put it off for two and a half years. Ladybug, a Cream Legbar/EE mix hasn't molted since June of 2017, and that was her only other molt in her life. She's always been a slightly "different" critter. But she's always been healthy in every other respect.
