Poor thing! I don't know why they do this. I have a little half bantam girl this year that took one look at the world after a winter storm and thought to herself, "You know what would be a great idea? If I took off all my feathers right now."

Ahahaha it’s terrible! I was so certain she wasn’t going to molt, then I woke up to her half naked!

I just noticed one of my chickens molting for the first time. Weird thing is that he was born this year and all my other chickens are a year old now but never molted last year, that means he molted before his dad
