What breed is the beautiful blue chicken behind your frizzled chicken? I love the dog shirt on the molting frizzle!

Rose, It looks like a blue Ameraucana. I agree with you, love that color!!.....and the muffs!!

I love it! I really like the way the rooster is still cocky as ever! Does the Frizzle(less) need a boyfriend?

He is a 5 month old Easter Egger (3/4 Ameraucana x 1/4 Cuckoo Marans) & available for FREE to anyone who wants him!

BJ ~ the poor frizzle seen here actually was his surrogate mother when she was broody this summer.

BJ is just getting used to the shirt ~ when I first put it on her she was walking around funny like a cat with tape stuck on it's paw.

That reminds me of the day I put aprons on some of my girls. I have an EE that ran around like something was trying to catch her, and all it was was the apron on her back!

Oh no. . . This is my first time with chickens. . . I'm afraid to see what they will look like when their molting!!!

I don't know why, but a molting chicken gives me the heebee-jeebees! Considering I'm a RN & see things presumably WAY nastier than these pics, seems like this shouldn't bother me. I literally have chills!! Eeewwwwww!

I've never had one molt like this, in all my years! Even my peafowl never looked that bad.

Make sure you support the nutritional needs during a molt. I always add a lot of extra protein, which I learned from having peafowl for years. Takes a lot of protein and vitamins to grow all those new feathers. When peacocks grow new tails, they are literally growing inches a day on several tail feathers which takes quite a lot of protein, since feathers Armenia pure protein.
I switch to something like 20% flock raiser plus high protein treats like hard boiled eggs, tuna,cat food, mealy worms, meat.
