Ribh's D'Coopage

Yep. Mine tend to pluck their breast bare. I've told my silly lot they were bought as much for their looks as their eggs & I'm not into chicks but every year I have @ least one bare breasted madam strutting round. It's different to a molt & I find the feathers take longer to grow back.
I wonder if it provides better heat transfer ?
 
This is Tackle. She's been sitting on some eggs in the maternity unit outside my house for the last couple of days. Normally I would wait until dark to evict her and confiscate her eggs. However, she hasn't been leaving her nest for long enough during the day. She hasn't had a bath for a couple of days and an egg I hadn't noticed before got broken and the ants have moved in. Needless to say she wasn't impressed about being evicted. I'm reasonably certain her egg laying cycle is switched off so it's try again another day for Tackle.

I’m guessing the language that appears to be issuing forth from that beak is unprintable? ;)
