BeFeathered My Friends

So here we are, another week and still not much in the way of new feathers in place of the ones that fell out. The fall-out has slowed down a lot! But the replacements are slow to arrive. One of the hens is either going through a very light molt, or she's going to be doing hers later. She is the first photo. The rest of the photos are the two who have been most impacted by the feather shed. It's interesting that they didn't lose feathers off their heads. At least not at this point. I want to keep posting photos weekly to kind of get a comparison of how they are doing one week to the next until the molting is done.
