OMG!! I feel so awful becuz I am laughing SO hard!

I feel terrible (and have sympathy shivers for the poor darlings!), but wow, never knew some chickens went through so much!!

It's ok to laugh IMO i see funny ones every day here.
some of mine get really red like this roo, it's not sunburn like some peeps think it is their skin getting ready for the new feathers.
this little roo is a good example of red threw and threw.

Ok that's bad

Agreed!

I also agree. I feel so sorry for her. Knowing me, I'd put a dress on her.

btw - do they risk getting a sun burn?

I LOVE this thread! And really good for chicken owners going through a moult for the first time!!!!

Wow, that's some sad moulting going on there

I never knew molts could be that bad!

This is a GREAT thread! Good thinking Nifty!

This is an annual thing, is it not? When do we get to all vote for the pathetic looking frizzle. She IS the obvious winner, I believe.

to all those sad looking birds. I thought I had some bad ones until looking here today.

Some one should make sweaters for these poor frizzles! and that roo lookes like he likes to strut naked, or would that be Necked - oh no, he has neck feathers so just butt naked...
