Ended Official BYC Contest: Worst Chicken Molt Pictures - Fall / Winter 2011

[CheerioLounge]

I know Sweet Thing can't compare with some of the more talented molters, but she insisted on having her photo put up here. She posed so pretty for the first one... little did she know, I took one of her walking away. She's gonna be so mad at me!!

Usually their first BIG molt is around 18 months so probably next fall for yours.

I just noticed while taking a closer look that the beak is a completely different color then the first pic!The comb and wattles are paler too, Are you sure that id the same chicken? The feathers coming in don't look to healthy but that could change after moult. If that is the same chicken then she is changing all over and not just her feathers
