Juvenile molt is no fun. My poor frizzle has been at it for like 3 months. I keep giving them scrambled egg here.

She was just messing with me - she preened a bit and they are going back into her wing - bizzare!

well our newest chicks are now 4 months old and have just started free ranging in our back yard. the older chickens don't let them get to far out in the yard before they chase them back into the chicken run!! How long until they all become friends?? They do still sleep in different coops every once in a while one of the older chickens will go into their coop to sleep but she is not on the top of the pecking order is this normal?

Sounds pretty normal. The younger birds won't be fully accepted as part of the flock until they start laying.

Have to agree very normal from the younger ones and the older crew. @Kmaria187

I had my first of the newbies roost with the big girls, it will happen.

My chicks I hatched in Dec-Jan are starting to lay, I hoped they would have green eggs, because the dad had green gene, but they are tan so far.

Goody frizzle use to lay a mint colour egg now the little monster is laying white eggs. Never heard of bird doing that. She had a really hard first molt.
