Ended Official BYC Contest - Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures - 2022

And here is Alfredo. She's a Silver-Laced Cochin and getting quite untidy-looking. (The missing feathers on the back of her head are actually due to her great love of Ludwig before I sold him. She was rarely more than a few feet away from him.

(thankfully) not nearly as hard as some molts here, but the worst in my flock!

. I've been debating selling her but her new feathers may be coming in better than the first batch.

ooh, what breed is she? does she lay eggs? did you decide to sell her?

Poor sweetie

you really ought to be saying that to the other birds here! they are the ones who have 0% feathers on their poor 'lil frizzly body!

She's a Blue Australorp.

I'm going to sell at least one of these lighter girls. It might depend on which one I can more easily catch.

Turns out, Grandma is molting again. Does this ever happened to your chickens? I just need to wait a little bit until she looks... um... *clears throat*... naked.

I didn't see the 2 contests of the frizzle, and non-, my hen is 1/2 frizzle+NN.

Does she have any new feathers yet?
