If that was an Auracana. it wouldn't have any tail feathers anyway. It looks like a EE to me.

Here is Lala, our Auracana, submitted for the "all other breeds" category. Not the ugliest molt, surely, but I got a kick out of her very expressive single tail feather.

Here's my silkie, Ushas. She started molting when she went broody.




Here's Jamie, my Dominique rooster, sporting his last two remaining tail sickles.

One of my ten is now past its worst - last night somehow it tricked me and stayed out - in the morning she was fine but at the end of the garden there was a strong smell of fox; I can only guess Mr Fox saw her ghoulish appearance and did a runner!!

I've noticed quite a few extra feathers laying around the yard and pen.
I guess my BR's are one of those easy molting breeds! I hope so, because I will laugh at their expense.

Molts get harder and more severe with the age of the birds. You hardly notice the first ones.(except for breeds like Frizzles, LOL)

Here's Mary, my poor white cochin frizzle. She is the only one who really molts out of our 32 chickens. I feel so bad for her as it's been 40 degrees and the other chickens just won't give her a break.
