Charlie is a rooster that only Chickenmom can love. He's molting and growing in new feathers at the
same time:
Still has ONE tail feather left.
(Surprised it didn't fall out with the all the goings on in the poopie bin)
His neck feathers are starting to grow back:
Up close, it seems he's growing miniature paint brushes:
Maude still tries to pick on them whenever she get a chance.
Some of the new ones look like little Q-tips, too!
No new ones are coming in where he has been bald for years.
Poor, poor Charlie.....
Charlie does have a time of it, doesn't he! I worry about that last tail feather. It would be tough on his ego if it fell out and he looked more like a hen than a rooster. :) Even with all that, I still think he is a handsome devil.
ReplyDeleteHe'll always thinks he will be handsome - even when he is completely bald and looks like a girly chicken! I should show him a mirror! :o)
DeleteYeah, poor Charley!
ReplyDeleteMy hens looked just awful when they were molting. Cheer up, Charley...you'll look fabulous this winter!
Poor Charlie is going to need a turtleneck sweater!
DeleteCharlie will always be a Stud....Qtip or Tailfeather....LOL Too Cute!
ReplyDeleteHe thinks he's cute, too Lisa! He struts around like a little Napoleon!
