LOL! Yeah...Uhm, the feathers left around its neck remind me of the collar on the suit the wicked Cruella Deville wore in 101 Dalmations. I noticed my Pyncheon roo has a few missing on his neck, but didn't connect it to molting. I figured it was just that he was in a new pen. He's only about 7 mos old, so he may not be molting, huh? Haven't seen anyone else in the yard sans feather, but our quail were almost naked last month.
Actually, I think this is a great contest. Lots of new chicken-keepers visit this site, and I think it's helpful for them to see the range of what's normal. The first time my chickens molted, I practically thought they were dying! I checked for mites, I worried about their nutrition- I knew that chickens molted, but having never seen it, I couldn't imagine that they could look that bad! This contest could be quite reassuring for newbies.
Plus, the indignant looks on the chickens' faces are just so funny...
