BRRRRRR!

I was out checking on the chickens when I saw white feathers everywhere, my heart was instantly in my mouth, MURPHY?????

Then I saw this poor dear!


It wasn't Murphy, it was the dreaded molt.


They quit laying and shed feathers but what a time of year to do it.


It's nearly November, winter isn't far behind.


I'm going to have to knit her a pair of knickers, she was huddled up between two other hens on the roost tonight, I feel for her.


"Do you MIND?? Quit taking pictures of my bare bottom, I would like to retain a semblance of dignity!"
