Ended Official BYC Contest - Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures - 2021

[HappyClucker7]

Here is my poor Mango (cochin bantam, non-frizzle). She looks so rough. She's absolutely miserable too. Normally she's one of my cuddliest chickens, but now she doesn't even want to be touched. I'm going to add a picture of how she normally looks as well.

One of my roosters, Bunny, is having a rough molt too. He lost his beautiful tail and everything. He's not letting it stop him though. He's still working very hard to impress his girls.

This is Queen, my 18-month old Welsummer. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, LOL. My son is concerned! Including a picture of her in her normal dress too. Poor thing. <3 She is almost done growing hers back in for this season.

Poor sweet girl. I love her coloring and her name is absolutely perfect.

"Hey ladies. Nothing to see here, just going through a rough patch. It will pass " He is still stunning.

Thank you!

Lol, yeah. His girls still love him, so I guess they don't seem to mind his appearance too much. He does find them lots of yummy worms though, so maybe that's why they overlook his ragged feathers.

Not sure if this is where I can enter the molting contest, but hope it is.
This is my only chicken out of our flock that still has a bald head and wings, hope those feathers grow in soon, it's in the 30s at night here now. She may need a hat, LOL.

This is the place to enter! She sure looks scruffy!
