I used to have a conure who loved it, so when we got chickens, I did it all the time! Some like it more than others, but if you gently "pop" the casings that are dry between your thumb and forefinger, then roll them a little between your fingers, they just flake right off. My OEGB LOVES it!

I might try popping some casing tonight! I hope they like it.

She's really not happy about this molting thing LOL!
Snooki's expression says it all......

The dark red skin makes me wonder. I've had chickens in such bad molt that they were nearly as featherless as those about to go in the oven, but the skin was never dark red like that.

Ok so I am new to the chicken life and don't have any birds that have molted, yet, but I suppose if you plan on chicken dinner this may be a good time...less feathers to pull
