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

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

X2 my vote goes to her! Poor little lady!
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.
