[Carters Chick House]

She does not look happy! Lol.

Hey, do you have the original photo to this? It's watermarked in the bottom left corner.

This is the only one I have.

Here is Boudicca..She is our pretty Speckled Sussex..But look at the pretty girl, only 1 tailfeather left...

Poor girl! Don't you just love it when they have that ONE tail feather?

fortunatly her flock mates are patient with her, and in fact; secretly happy that bossy Rosie is chilled out for a bit……giving others the chance to act as top hen! Crazy chooks! View attachment 3950104

Is this an entry?

no way!

 

[CombNWattles]

Why not an entry?

I would, but the rules said only pictures taken this year.

Oh, I see. That makes sense it is a good picture though!

*NOT AN ENTRY*
I just noticed one of my chickens molting for the first time. Weird thing is that he was born this year and all my other chickens are a year old now but never molted last year, that means he molted before his dad

Oh, wow. Sure he's not getting plucked? I think cockerels molt earlier than pullets, but that might be an earlier molt. Handsome boy there!

He’s the head honcho of my three little free range cockerels, I have him, a leghorn, and a maran mix that run around my yard and they all get along but he’s at least 9lbs as big as his dad and the leghorn is like 6lbs while the marans like 7. He is pure Orpington his mom is a buff and his dad is a lavender, so he’s big and has attitude but I’m sure he’s not getting picked on.

That's quite the combination that he is! No wonder why he's so pretty! I haven't heard of Orpingtons ever molting early, but maybe he's just that way.
