It is fall and the girls are molting. I chuckle when I see them scratching around the yard leaving feathers in their wake. At times the coop looks like the aftermath of a pillow fight!
Not only are they quite mangy-looking with all the white patches, but they lose their tails too! The chicken on the left has a little nub compared to the chicken on the right whose has a complete tail because her molt hasn't started yet.
And here's a close-up of their new feathers coming in. They are so little and cute!
