Obeying her avian masters
Maybe I could just link my article on Alice's molt?

Obeying her avian masters
Alice is my Araucana. She had a bad moult at the beginning of Autumn/Winter this year (March in the Great Southern Land)
Here are some photos showing the feather loss and progress of new feathers.
It was a very educational, though distressing time. For me at least.
She lost most of her feathers just as the cold weather started. Poor thing.
It looks really uncomfortable. I feel itchy just looking at her!
She's not in time out, really! She's standing in the only bit of sun she could find.
Looking more like a secretary bird than a chicken!
Trying to warm up with what's left of her flight feathers.
My little porcupine.
There are a lot more photos of her, if anyone is a glutton for punishment, in the article I made documenting her moult.

I noticed that I didn't include many photos of Alice's face in my previous post.
Here are some more pics of Alice during her moult.
She is rocking the punk hairdo here as the new pin feathers on her head push her remaining head feathers straight up!

If you hadn’t stated she was a chicken, I might have wondered what species Alice is. What a dramatic moult!
poor Alice - she had it really bad! On the upside, she must be a great candidate for the eventual winner!
It was hard to watch as it happened.

When is the end date on this? I have one that’s really starting to molt and imagine the others aren’t far behind
End date is probably in December, so plenty of time left!
Looks like one of ours!View attachment 2301544My temorary naked neck
