Fancy Nancy
Since she is molting I am careful when I pick her up or pat her body.
Look at her little oil gland nub...
She keeps getting more bald...
I had a cute video, but having trouble figuring out how to load it.
I had a video but could not figure out how to down load it.
She likes the shade.

In this pic it is hot, you can see the other hens panting, but she is not. This morning it was 56, and I saw her shiver.
Okay- but those weak hearted avert your eyes...NN
When held she feels like a meat bag. She is quite heavy.
Fancy Nancy is very happy. She is not low on the totem pole. She lays a lovely green egg, too! As a baby she was very nak-y in this pic you cannot see, but she had no feathers on her but, and if you see her pics she is all skin, not even pin feathers saying hello. (By the way she is a NN. So not supposed to have as many feathers.)
She has less feathers than I have seen on chicken in the meat dept. lately.
To be clear it is a molt pic of Fancy Nancy and she is one year old.
