Official Contest: Worst Chicken Molt Pictures - Winner!

[ejctm]

When will this contest end? "Once we're past the moulting season" doesn't mean much to me, since I am in the UK and also since my chickens decide to moult at any time they like! A season? They laugh in my face when I mention it

One of mine is half-feathered, so I might enter her, but the group have been moulting all summer at various points!

Come on... I left it vague for a reason!

I'd say the contest will go at least for the next 2-3 months to make sure we get a lot of submissions!

NICE!!

And you can tell by that tiny bit of leftover lacing on the wing that your girl is normally quite lovely...

This is Phoebe, my 10 month old bantam cochin Frizzle. Poor Phoebe. She's not a model Frizzle to begin with, but now she's just really pathetic.

This was Phoebe when she was a little more respectable looking (with her sisters, Monica & Rachel in March & June, respectively):

And as of August/September, 2010. Not pretty. Not at all pretty!

She just LOOKS tired from molting, doesn't she?

Six weeks later...

My poor bald Australorp hen has looked pitiful for over a year. Bald backed from being over roostered.......she is finally molting. I missed the worst of it.
