My flock are now on the very tail end of the moult which seems to have been going on forever but they are looking amazing. I am still finding a few feathers and can still feel some pins when I pick them up at night to put them in the coop. I can still see a few loose feathers too but no bare patches on any of the girls now.
Sparkle was the last to stop laying eggs and to moult but she is looking pristine now apart from a few pins on her head. Topaz also has a few pins on her head so perhaps that is the way the wyndottes moult.
Sparkle now has a really fluffy bottom
Sparkle is looking really good with just a few pins on her head
Topaz is two tone and still has a few pins on her head
Emerald still has a loose wing feather, Toffee is pristine and seemed to moult the quickest.
Emerald looks great although that wing feather looks a little loose
Toffee is looking great
Honey is completely feathered and Amber has taken the longest of all to get through the moult. She still has some loose feathers on her breast and I am still picking up gold feathers but she has no bare patches. I worried when Topaz pulled a couple of pins from her neck that she wouldn’t end up fully feathered but I am really pleased that all her neck feathers have grown back in.
Honey has all her feathers
Amber is looking great
Amber just has a few loose feathers on her breast but her neck feathers are complete now
Barley as usual is ready for her close up
Barley has amazing wattles and comb
Peaches is looking great
Peaches wanted a close up too and also has amazing wattles and comb
I am so thrilled that the feather pulling is finally behind us and my flock are all fully feathered once more. It has been extra special to me this year and I am so happy to see these girls looking so beautiful.

Oh Carol your girls look fab! Peaches definitely knows it x
Peaches and Barley are such show offs and they are the queens of the photo bomb. I have more photos of them lately because of that. They are so funny.
I still think Sparkle is a stunning girl ands my favourite, but I don’t want to adopt her 🙂
I just love it now all mine are fully feathered And looking like a beauty parade.
I like the stronger colours best but love them all. It’s okay, none of them are up for adoption and agree about them now looking like a beauty parade.
They are all looking great and the rear view of Sparkle is a delight to behold. Mine are largely through, and two of the wyandottes have started to lay again. The only exception is Dart, who has yet to start and who continues to lay every other day. I’m starting to wonder if she will ever moult!
I too just love Sparkle’s bottom. I wonder when my wyandottes will start to lay again!
That is amazing that Dart is still laying. Perhaps she won’t moult this year, it would be rather chilly to start now. I am so pleased mine are all feathered for this cold spell.
