She's a nutter. After I robbed both her feral nests she has taken to hopping the fence & laying in the next door neighbour's nesting boxes. This morning I managed to nab her before she settled & locked her in the shed to lay where she ought!I have to say, she looks as you describe.
That is heart breaking the comets don'tThe most obvious things I've noticed about the Ex Batts is they don't seeem to know how to dust bath.
I've watched lots of broodies teach their chicks to bath so maybe this is learn't behaviour. Henry, Matilda,Volt and Amp and Cloud and Fret all dust bath when they can. The comets and links don't.
Amp dust bathing.

I'm not 100% sure. I have to think back more than 20 years but I think it was a gradual process. They liked the warmth of the bricks while they were so denuded but as they feathered out they sunbathed on the dirt & gradually began dustbathing from scratching around ~ so a few months. I guess nude birds don't need to dustbathe the way feathered birds do.How long did it take. I don't know how onewould go about trying to each them.
They are just yummy, delicious eye candy and all kine fine. ♡♡♡
I hear ya! Had more than a few like that. Find one nest and they just go deeper and farther till they bring home babies. Then attack the flock and then me.... I gave mine back to the pasture where they can do as they please. Great mommas. Bad chickens.She's a nutter.

Now that I think about it... she was laid in a ferals nest a yard or two away... by my girl of course.... her whole brood got pox and died cept her I grabbed to be a companion to a solo chick. The pox gave her a crooked beak. But she is the spitting image of her mom, just had my roos feathered legs.Those aren't the crazy ones... and I won't even tell them you sid so. Oh my princesses cover your beautiful ears!!!
