Now that is a hard molt. Memphis would have loved it.

Yes, she would have. She always got a kick out of heavy molts lol

My bobwhite quail hen. She’s flighty, so I wasn’t able to get better pictures.

Ok, so Daphne’s looking pretty again. Now, it’s my white Muscovy hen’s turn! I may have waited too long to take pictures as the feathers on her neck are growing back in, and her long feathers are no longer sticking out all over the place as they are gone. Nevertheless, here’s a collection getting her from different angles.

It‘s actually really difficult to get pictures of her right now as molting makes her unusually skittish. This is the bird that prefers to be carried around at all other times of the year. Shes also usually incredibly sleek and beautiful.

Ok, turkeys deserve their own competition as they will win this competition hands down!

That will be up to the judges but I am sure that all of the entries will be treated fairly. It's hard to see but it looks like that little quail has a whole head full of pin feathers.

Oh, I’m sure it will be! I apologize if my post sounded snarky as it was definitely not meant in that way. I was just commenting on the high quality of the turkey molts. They do it best!

It also looks like a Tennessee Red?
