Coco started molting 8 days ago. She praying for warm weather for another week or so till those pin feathers begin to open.
Your poor baby:( l had a scare when I got off work two days ago, l went to check my girls, only to find massive amounts of feathers all over the place. My first thought was a fox had killed one or more of my girls. So I called them, but they all came running and they all seemed fine. Until l saw my Black Betty. She looked like she had been plucked! Even worse, when I picked her up, feathers were falling out by the handfuls. She has never lost her feathers like that. So I'm glad to hear that's normal. I was worried something was wrong. I have to agree with others here, why do they molt so bad in the cold?
