Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures - 2022
Are Your Chickens Molting?
We Want Your Pics!
It's that time of year again when our birds start their metamorphosis into... well, okay, they don't turn into anything, but it sure is interesting to see them go through their molting process and leaving feathers all over the place!

- What Happens When Chickens Molt?
- Chickens Losing Feathers? Managing Your Flock's Molt
- Molting- Your Flock's Seasonal Shedding
- DISCUSSION: For the new folks that haven't experienced a molt yet.
The contest is simple, post pictures of your birds in the worst part of their molt. Once we're past the molting season our esteemed panel of judges will pick a loser... er... winner!
The rules are simple too:
Good luck to you and your ugly... er.. molting chickens!
