Awww! Poor thing! She looks like a pin cushion! What beautiful feathers (what she does have)!

She's just going through bad molt - I went out one morning and she had no feathers on her rear end and it's 'progressed' from there.

She's normally got that pretty gold lacing. She really does seem embarrassed about her condition...hides, sulks and not the usual food hog that she normally is. (Although she is eating, drinking and I've been giving her some supplemental higher protein feed to help with feather growth)

Wow my girls are on higher protein so that seems to be helping, there are a lot of feathets just not sure who it is that its coming from. Aw i hope you chickens feel better soon and can show off there proud plumage soon enough.

My two Ameraucanas are almost done molting but neither of them looked that bad. They are still under a year old so they might get that bad next year. Poor babies.

This is my Black Langshan rooster, Gavin. He is 1.5 years old. He is looking droopy and ragged. This reminds me of the before and after marriage rooster picture that was going around Facebook.

I know he isn't as bad as some I've seen here, but what the heck, I will enter the regular contest. This picture was taken yesterday.

He looks like my Ameraucana roo. My boy has pinfeathers all over his neck and the back of his head and looks like such a dweeb, but he thinks he's a stud.

My chickens are molting now as it is turning cold here so I am worried about them. My white leghorn the most although she still looks fully feathered the number of feathers on the ground is astonishing.

Your signature area touches me as it expresses my feelings also, 'cause I'm worn.
