LOL I wish I had seen this thread earlier! My hen looked so bad we thought she had worms, but shes full feathered now

OMGosh, I was worried because Roxie, our Barred Plymouth Rock, is our ugliest molter yet. Now I feel better too! She wouldn't stand still for a good pic though.

Happy Chooks, must be something about those Buttercups!

Here are pix of my girls from last year.

I have proof that my naked chicken, Inbar was in molt because she has grown her "feathers" back in.

Before:

Tonight:

& some of the naked family:

The AHT (Ellah) knows she's not allowed around the chickens so when I put Inbar right next to her for this photo, she was very shamefaced.

She then got pecked because Inbar loves spots & so Ellah fled to the sofa & it took considerable coaxing to convince her back to bed once the Inbar was back in her coop.
