It's that time again everyone. Me and the little chick played around in the back yard a little today. Got some decent shots of the youngest kids.

Yipee! My naked Naked Neck is finally growing back her feathers! She molted in Feb and has been naked until now!


She's been like this since Feb! Thought she was never going to grow back her feathers! Thought I was going to have to knit her a sweater for the winter! But here she is today! Feathers are growing! Yea!

Flowerbh, I had never seen a Naked Neck Chicken before seeing your pictures. I also had not been through a molt, until now. Do all Naked Necks lose most all of their feathers when they molt, and for such a long period of time? I have one hen in molt, but she is just rumpled and lost a lot of her tail feathers, and no eggs.. She's been in molt
about 6 wks. Did the other chickens bother her or peck at her while she was almost "totally naked"?

No, most NNs molt like other chickens, but this one was almost totally naked for 8 months! Just weird. So glad she is getting feathers again!

Great pics, Cliff! Your silkie/showgirl is so nice and white! My white chickens always turn orange from bathing in the nice GA red clay! Love all your birds! (And baby human, too!)

I have 2 white chicks and both stay on the pine straw, on the sand or in the grass. Till the digging begins the color is safe.

AUBird, welcome! I'm on the Cassville side of Cartersville :) New additions... Went to an auction and bought NOTHING. Then went to Flowers house and added 2 beautiful Swedish Flowers and some chicks last night. Then today I was given 4 hens by a lady in Rockmart who is moving from a house to an apartment. The 4 hens laid 2 eggs today, even in the quarantine pen (4x4x4')

Hi Feathers, Almost neighbors! Where is the auction if you don't mind me asking? Thanks
