These are pictures of my BLRW last fall. I went to the chicken house one morning and thought something had tried to eat her in the night! There were feathers everywhere!! The poor thing would shiver on those cold mornings.
How common is it for hens to molt so drasticly? I seem to recall her molting heavily her first year but not this bad! All my other hens have molted much slower and w/ less bareness.
This is her in her normal state w/ her chick she hatched last spring.
Anyone have similar experiences? I'm not concerned about her, I'm just curious. Thanks
