Oh this is nothing to how she was when we got her 6 months ago - inbween she's regrown feathers and this is now a proper moult - she really did look like a ragged old cat scratch post when she arrived, hence the name... she's definitely a tough lass though and we adore her..

I am soo enjoying all these pictures..... I dont remember my chickens being more than just a little scruffy during molt time. I dont have chickens right now I have very young Guineas... Next year will be for the chicken flock to get started.

I have a dumb question now. How long does it take for a feather to grow till it looks like a feather instead of just a pointy quill.
