Ended Official BYC Contest - Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures - 2020

Good luck everyone on their Chicken Molt pictures!

My all time favorite winner is Kung Fu Henny:

I think that Kung Fu Henny is the reason the Frizzle category was added to the contest.

Majority of my hens are molting now, and I have this one Easter Egger Hen that looks so naked! Unfortunately she was being shy and would not hold still, so my picture quality is not the greatest. But here she is! Even her belly area is all pin feathers. She looks like she needs a sweater in these chilly days!

Once again this is not that bad, but it is all I got.View attachment 2325783View attachment 2325784View attachment 2325785View attachment 2325786View attachment 2325788

Those two hens are very fancy with their lovely feather "hair-dos"

My 6-year-old (going on 7) Rhode Island Red, Dana, is taking her molt hard. I have been giving her dry cat food for extra protein. She looked worse a couple days ago, bad for the contest but good for her

I finally have a hen worthy of a chicken molt contest: this older black silver marans hen!

If you can believe it, today that poor old girl looks worse....

i am not sure how naked she is going to get, but my wonderful mother in law is knitting this poor girl a sweater because we are due for snow and rain all weekend and she won't survive a big snowstorm like she is right now

She made it through the storm ! She goes where she pleases even in the cold and won't stay under the heat panel. She will decide to go inside if she gets cold enough

Not a super bad snow storm, just wet and cold ... Still worrying about her until she gets a good layer of warm feathers!

Lol, that hen looks like it was blown up. What a picture, I can’t stop laughing!
