I'd stay in the coop all day! Unless I was Henrietta, then I'd be okay. Here are photos of the poor girls strutting around with no tails and half naked.
All lined up. Henrietta still has her tail feathers and hasn't molted much. Or she just hides it really well.
Lillie Mae spends a lot of time preening, pulling the old feathers out to make room for new ones.
Look at all the pin feathers coming in on Reba's neck! Looks really silly when she stretches it out.
And, poor Lillie Mae...
I think her coloring makes it look worse than it really is, but, no, it's not a pretty sight.
And, another shot of skinny neck, tailless Reba.
Just a few more weeks, girls, and it'll be over. You'll be full of new fluffy feathers and a warm pretty coop to call home! (Better get back to painting!)
